Brady Campaign Endorses Obama Save Email Print

Less than a week after John McCain was endorsed by the National Rifle Association, Barack Obama is being backed by a major antigun group.

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence says Obama and running mate Joe Biden would strengthen background checks on gun purchasers, get assault weapons off the streets, and give law enforcement more tools to stop illegal gun trafficking.

A spokesman for the group criticized McCain for once leading on gun violence prevention issues, but then allegedly pandering to the gun lobby.

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence is named after James Brady, the former White House press secretary who was gravely wounded during the attempt on Ronald Reagan's life in 1981.

Steve, that was one of the most racist comments I have ever heard. Why is racism suddenly acceptable as long as it's against anyone hispanic? Fool. And nothing on there said anything about making guns illegal. All it is doing is making it more difficult to buy a gun for criminals. It's the same reasoning for why we can't go to Wal-Mart and buy 100 boxes of Sudafed. Prevention. We have the right to bear arms and should keep it, but lets keep them out of the hands of criminals. Did no one read the story about the 2 year old boy who was shot and killed by some fool with a GUN? And any of you who are calling Obama a Muslim, Arab, or anything of the like are ignorant back woods fools. Obama=Muslim Anti-Gun=Communism Man, if that's what you people think, I am afraid for this Country. If you want to live your lives in a tiny little box, go right ahead. You absolutely have the right to do that. BUT STOP TRYING TO SHOVE THE REST OF US IN!

Steve, you are so wrong by making that comment about Martinez because of his name. What a racist remark. And, Bob...you are right on!! OBAMA '08

Steve, well said.

Make all the personal attacks on me that you want, it only proves my point. Racism and fear of a non white scares all those extremists, because it proves they lost their power base. By personally attacking me, they prove their lack of intelligence of the issues, so, like how Fox news attacks Obama with lies, you all attack me with your own lies to make yourself feel better. Because the change Obama brings will better America, and people like you will no longer be able to destroy it. You make your decisions based on that some Stare funded news reporter tells you to believe, that is dangerous and extreme. I know this because you still believe Obama is a Muslim or an Arab. That is the basis for your hate. Maybe if you actually open a book, and look at what an Arab looks like, you will clearly and obviously see, he is no Arab. His mom is white, and his Dad was Black. No Arab there dude! And Henry, "Gutter Trash" if thats not a racial euphenism I dont know what is, I feel sorry for you

Hey Jon, whose this Arabic/Muslim you are talking about in your post??? A "smart war" is one where we have a defined objective instead of soldiers dying for a president who has alternative motives to satisfy his Daddy...and its not "foreigners" that are voting for Obama...its the actual "intelligent Americans" that are voting this time around because something needs to be done..I'm assuming towards the end of your post you are talking about his tax plan and you are completely wrong about it because it will actually HELP you out unless you make over 250k a year...if that were the case your post would of made some sort of sense instead of all the hate you just let out...

National Rifle backs McCain, like all the other anti terrorist associations. http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/09/national-rifle-association-backs-mccain/

I hope the first house he marches his terroist buddy to is Bob's and Martinez. Hope you don't have daughters who can go get a nonconsent abortion behind your back either.
Posted by: Sean Location: CO on Oct 15, 2008 at 06:29 AM
But yet the hunting and shooting association backs Obama? Why is that?
Posted by: Bob Location: COS on Oct 15, 2008 at 06:27 AM
Nick.....it's not at matter of if anymore. You are talking about the new President of the United States of America. Better get used to it!!! GOBAMA!!!

If guns are made illegal, the only people to have them would be criminals? I can agree that there is no plausible reason for someone to have in their possession a cash of assault rifles. I will also remind you that this is the United States, the most free Country on this Planet. So to say that one doesn't have the right or freedom to own a gun, isn't correct either. I support and believe in the Right to Bare Arms. I also support the requirement of the registration of such firearms. Such as the thorough system that is currently in place.Politics are a threat to this right.For instance: If Guns are made illegal what would keep potential criminals in check,what would stop them from acquiring an illegal firearm and kicking your door down in a home invasion? The right to Bare Arms can also apply to threats both foreign and domestic,which is an entirely too lengthy discussion for a comments post.The benefits for the right to own guns greatly outweigh any benefit in making them illegal.

Whatta crock of krap! You will just put up any krap doodle idea to try to discredit the War on Terror, even after watching 3,000 Americans die at the WTC! You know, what is just mind boggling to me, is that TWO OF OUR PRESIDENTS called for regime change in Iraq... And yet one gutter trash Arabic/Muslim hoodlum from Illinois who knew nothing about Iraq, had no access to intelligence, didn''t even have a security clearance to go to the bathroom at the UN, so full of ignorant arrogance announces to the world HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE IRAQ WAR!!!! Doesn''t anybody else see the arrogance and ignorance of this two hood from Chicago?

Hey Martinez, We don't mind a black president. We don't want an Arabic wanting to attack Pakistan president. He said he was for a "smart war" anyone want to define what a "smart war" is ? SO we go from Iraq to Pakistan ?Foreigners know that Obama would destroy the USA internally with his socialist policies. That''s why foreigners overwhelmingly support Obama. But the American people (those of us who work for a living) do not believe in the redistribution of wealth Obama plans to institute in the USA. If you earn $10, Obama will take $5 of your earnings and give it to poor people and illegal aliens. We just don''t believe in that economic philosophy!

Martinez, hasn't the illegals dept caught up with you and deported you yet ?
Posted by: Robert Location: PPCC on Oct 14, 2008 at 06:22 PM
Anti-gun groups aren't pro-communism. I can't believe that you said that. Obama is not an Arab, even John McCain said it, so stop being a hypocrite! Do you really think we are going to get taken over and invaded? Are you kidding me? Is that the best you can do to defend your right to have thousands of rounds of ammo and assault rifles? I'm all for having you keep your right to bear arms and shot yourself in the foot while hunting, but to say that if you anti-firearm you are going to be invaded and a communist is just stupid. I got a baseball bat at home, that works just fine.
Posted by: Betty Location: CS on Oct 14, 2008 at 05:06 PM
Martinez you prove your stupidity and ignorance every time you comment on this sight. Stop trying to make this about race. You are an embrassment to your race whatever that is. Get an education then talk.
Posted by: nick on Oct 14, 2008 at 02:04 PM
couldnt have said it better ed, also lets tax the rest of the ammo 500% that sounds like a good idea! It will be a sad day if Obama gets in office!!!!!!
Posted by: Willbill! Location: Knoxville, TN on Oct 14, 2008 at 11:07 AM
A radical anti-firearms rights group is endorsing a radical anti-firearms candidate. What a surprise.
Posted by: Martinez Location: Southside on Oct 14, 2008 at 09:21 AM
Bill and Ed, get educated, Obama is not a communist or a Arab, all you can do is lie about him because you dont want a black guy as president? You honestly believe these things which are not true and so very extreme. I feel sorry for you. Quit getting your opinions from Fox news and make some of your own for a change.
Posted by: Tom Location: CS on Oct 14, 2008 at 08:26 AM
"strengthen background checks on gun purchasers, get assault weapons off the streets, and give law enforcement more tools to stop illegal gun trafficking." And this is a bad thing because??? Get over it Ed...your comment doesnt even hold water because it doesnt make any sense...you obviously dont know what your talking about and shouldnt be commenting on this story!! Saying he's an Arab shows how ignorant you are...
Posted by: Ed Location: c/s on Oct 14, 2008 at 06:36 AM
Be easier for his Arab buddies to take America over if the people don't have the right to bear arms, wouldn't it ?
Posted by: bill on Oct 14, 2008 at 12:29 AM
Well, that proves it. Anti-gun = pro-commmunist. Vote McCain/Palin in 08 for all the "Right" reasons.
