Published on Jun 6, 2012 by stopgunviolence
With the November 2012 elections fast approaching, the NRA's "Circus of Fear" is making appearances from coast to coast in an attempt to convince gun owners that "Gun Ban Obama" is out to get them. In reality, the NRA is using the gun issue to mobilize Libertarian-leaning voters to join with Religious Conservatives in the Conservative Movement. The true goal is to "drown [government] in the bathtub," as NRA board member Grover Norquist saidbecause it's hard to imagine any future president doing less to regulate the gun industry than Obama has.
