NRA President John Sigler on the election
Hard hitting Townhall column here.
Scott Bach's take is the same.
I'll just add the following from when Obama ran for Congress in 2000:
“If elected to Congress, Obama says he will continue working to solve the most important issues that affect the South Side of Chicago, including education, health care, juvenile justice, gun control and urban development.”

that would be a great quote if only, by "working to solve," he meant "completely ignoring and leaving up to the people to solve."
It is amazing that a politician with such hardcore left wing views is (mostly likely) about to become our president.
Hopefully the weight of beaurocracy in D.C. and an American people who start paying attention (alright, now I'm talking about a fantasy) will keep him in check.
Too little too late?
I like the Sigler piece, but I wish that the word had gone out months ago rather than on the eve of the election about Obama's exploitation of the Third Way scheme to skate the gun issue. Heck I've been harping for months about this at comments I've left at blog sites and online news reports. At least I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one to have caught on to Obama's gambit.
Actually, this Third Way strategy WRT gun control has been discussed in the context of Obama using it (I'm pretty sure I learned about it from those discussions).
Perhaps people haven't discussed it more simply because what Obama is doing has been so obvious, whatever motivated him to do so is not all that important (after all, it goes back to losing the Congress in 1994 and Gore's loss in 2000, which created the perception that the RKBA is a new third rail).
Anyone who cares about the truth in this area knows Obama is lying, those who aren't are simply allowing his current words to cover up his record.

Both articles are excellent. I am particularly pleased to read the article by Sigler.
Will the lies and the cover-ups of national political figures ever be exposed in the main-stream? I can only hope that one day, truth will regain the traction to allow such exposure.
