NOBAMA on gun controls

Many of the so-called "swing states" have large numbers of rural gun toting voters who may or may not know NOBAMA's record on gun control. I think it is vitally important that we get them the information they need to make the right choice. Please follow this link to the NRA's site. Check out the information there and get familiar with it so you can speak to people in an informed way. You will be able to change many minds on this one issue. Be sure to send out the information or the link to your address book also.
