LaPierre on blogs
You’ve gotta love the gun bloggers. A few days ago, when Gun Law News reported that Senator Barack Obama served on the board of directors for the anti-gun Joyce Foundation, I had to smile. Not because of Obama’s ties to one of the deep pockets that fund anti-gun groups across this country, but because it was a blog that broke this story, not the mainstream media.
He notes Obama is better on guns than Hillary, though.
And, a blog courtesy tip to Wayne, you should link to Gun Law News when you mention them.

Not sure why you think (or think LaPierre thinks) Obama is better than Hillary on guns. He cites one Senate vote where Obama came down on the right side and Hillary was one of the few who didn’t, but he also points out Obama’s hard-core anti-gun-owner record in the Illinois legislature. In fact he understates it a bit by leaving out the law that prohibits prosecution of homeowners found to have violated local gun bans because they used their guns in self-defense. That bill passed over Gov. Blagejovich’s veto, with near-unanimity among Republicans and a majority even among Democrats – but Obama voted no.
