[Vision2020] NRA's New Ad: "Obama is an Elitist Hypocrite"

[Gary Crabtree]

Thank you for the honesty. The problem isn't the tools, it's the
probability. But that said, it's the tools that the liberal elite are going
to try and move heaven and earth to reduce.

Lets just face up to the facts. The current scramble for gun regulation has
little to do with the most recent disaster and everything to do with the
promotion of an agenda.

Never let a perfectly good crisis go to waste they are heard to say.
