Some examples of right-wing propaganda saying Obama "will take away your guns"
Of course, we've seen the tragic story of the shooter in Pittsburgh, who killed three policemen, saying he believed Obama was going to take awy his guns...

3 Officers Reported Dead in Pittsburgh Shooting

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: April 4, 2009

Filed at 5:49 p.m. ET

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- A gunman wearing a bulletproof vest and ''lying in wait'' opened fire on officers responding to a domestic disturbance call Saturday, killing three of them and turning a quiet Pittsburgh street into a battlefield, police said.

Police Chief Nate Harper said the motive for the shooting isn't clear, but friends said the gunman recently had been upset about losing his job and feared the Obama administration was poised to ban guns.

Richard Poplawski, 23, met officers at the doorway and shot two of them in the head immediately, Harper said. An officer who tried to help the two also was killed.

Poplawski, armed with an assault rifle and two other guns, then held police at bay for four hours as the fallen officers were left bleeding nearby, their colleagues unable to reach them, according to police and witnesses. More than 100 rounds were fired by the SWAT teams and Poplawski, Harper said.

The three slain officers were Eric Kelly, Stephen Mayhle and Paul Sciullo III. Kelly had been on the force for 14 years, Mayhle and Sciullo for two years each. Another officer, Timothy McManaway, was shot in the hand and a fifth broke his leg on a fence.

Who's responsible for fabricating the LIE that Obama will take away your guns?

Michelle Bachmann, Minnesota nutcase congressperson, has called for people to be armed and dangerous...

Freepers...

Obama is quite clearly against private, legal ownership of guns. Everyone knows this. When the alien black African Communist was appointed president by the Oedipal WASP liberal Democrats, the level of gun sales surged more than 49%. This is the FBI report on the requested background checks sent in from gun stores.

The NRA...

...his real record, based on votes taken, political associations, and long standing positions, shows that Barack Obama is a serious threat to Second Amendment liberties. Don’t listen to his campaign rhetoric! Look instead to what he has said and done during his entire political career.

Lots of sub-intelligent knuckleheads with blogs...

Ok, lets get out there and let our state Legislature know that we do notwant this bill passed, and petition them to vote no on this bill. We should keep after thim untill the bill is closed.

By bombarding them with e-mails,phone calls, and letters.

Remember how Obama said that he wasn't going to take your guns? Well, it seems that his minions and allies in the anti-gun world have no problem with taking your ammo!

Then there's the classic halfwit who is shooting his guns in a neighborhood that could kill children who blames Obama for the local cops telling him he's an idiot who shouldn't have a gun...

i recieved a warning in the mail today about my gun will be revoked and my license removed from my possession. i believe this is due to the police showing up at my house a few days ago because i was shooting my gun in my own yard. i have targets set up in my yard and in my property.

according to police my neighbor called the police because her kids were in her yard, which is the direction i was shooting. i know shes an obama supporter and is just doing it to spite me.

do you think obama will end up taking everyone's gun away now that he is taking mine?

If you want to get shivers down your spine, watch 911-exploiter for profit Glenn Beck yammering with the NRA's LaPierre saying that Obama is essentially going to take every gun away in America as part of some secret black helicopter plan.

Watch Lou Dobbs spread fear about how Obama will take away guns:

There is so much more evidence of this and it would make an excellent documentary...

1. Whackos.
"according to police my neighbor called the police because her kids were in her yard, which is the direction i was shooting. i know shes an obama supporter and is just doing it to spite me."

He was shooting in the direction of the woman's children, and yet she called the police to spite him because she's an Obama supporter.

Bizarre.

3. Speaking of nuts, the NRA still has a "fact sheet" on how Kerry was going to take away guns
The right wing echo chamber has been doing this stuff for years. The NRA has been spreading fear in order to get people paranoid and get more guns than they actually would need to defend themselves...

5. It's frightening that the NRA uses anti-Obama fear to have skyrocketing sales of guns
They need to be exposed. As we're seeing more shootings by suicidal mass murderers, who assuredly listen to NRA's propaganda, it's becoming apparent that the NRA's tactics of fear are endangering our population.
