NRA Begins Push To Tarnish Obama On Guns

CBS News reports:
The defining moment in the National Rifle Association's eight-figure advertising offensive against Barack Obama takes place about 15 seconds into a new spot featuring Karl Rusch, a white, middle aged Virginian clad in hunting gear.

After claiming that Obama supports "a huge new tax on my guns and ammo," Rusch closes the door of his truck and turns directly to the camera.

"Where is this guy from?" he asks. "He's probably never been hunting a day in his life."
It was inevitable that Obama would be attacked on guns since he supports Chicago's right to ban handguns.You might say Chicago's handgun ban is a racketeering enterprise.
