Obviously, the rush is on for gun ban activists. Many surely know their road won't lead to a safer society, but they don't care. As long as their bandwagon is taking on passengers, it gives both the appearance of action being taken and the opportunity to bash the NRA.

At the White House, the deal-making is over and the campaigning has begun. The president has sworn off compromise and negotiation. Now he is telling Congress that it is his way or the highway, in a transparent effort to fire up his dissatisfied political base.

We are rapidly approaching the time when NRA’s Political Action Committee the NRA Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) will begin issuing endorsements in elections across the country.
As always in an election year, we receive many calls and e-mails inquiring about our endorsement policy in general, and specific races in particular.

For the record, NRA-PVF has not yet announced any ratings or endorsements in this race.

During World War II, soldiers stuck on troopships or remote bases would often start rumors, just for the sake of seeing how fast a tall tale would get back to them. All patriotic Americans appreciate what those GIs did to preserve freedom, but we can only imagine what the rumor mill would have been like if the Internet had existed in those days.

It was the week before the election of 2008 and the Second Amendment needed some help. Economic bad news was drowning out the key differences between candidates on core Second Amendment issues in some of the nation’s tightest races. The media obsession with the presidential race was diverting voter attention from key congressional contests. Freedom hung in the balance.
In that final, fateful week, one of America’s favorite action heroes stepped up to take command. Screen star Chuck Norris, known to generations of Americans as an icon of toughness, filmed a television ad on behalf of the NRA Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF).
“Some politicians say they support your rights--but their voting records say otherwise,” warned Norris in the ad. “Protect your rights on Election Day--check the candidate’s record, and see who stood up for your family--and who protected the criminals.”

Everyone now knows the danger the Obama-Biden White House poses to the rights of law-abiding gun owners. We watched as President Barack Obama assembled his team from among the most anti-gun zealots to ever hold public office.

One of the most stinging blows that Hillary Clinton delivered to Barack Obama's presidential campaign came when she mocked his motto "change you can believe in," by altering it to "change you can Xerox." Now, even as she prepares to join the Obama administration as secretary of state, her criticism is ringing true. Ironically, her own appointment is the most obvious example. Obama is staffing his administration from top to bottom with refugees from the Clinton White House, including two of the most aggressive anti-gun operatives of that era. They, in turn, promise to bring the same approach to the Second Amendment that Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Janet Reno pioneered.

But few in the Senate have as much experience as Biden in attacking our Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

Palin’s natural stage presence to Ronald Reagan’s.

The Founding Fathers designed the U.S. House of Representatives to mirror the political landscape of America, and it has usually done that. While senators serve for six years (and were elected by state legislatures until 1913), House members have always been directly elected every two years. In the early days of the Republic, most congressmen represented fewer people than state representatives do today. That closeness to the people was intentional: the Founders wanted the House to reflect the people`s views.
