NRA targets Obama
The National Rifle Association is getting personal. In a new web video the gun lobby calls President Obama an elitist hypocrite for using the Secret Service to protect his two children, Sasha, age 11, and Malia, age 14.
The ad, posted to the NRAs Stand and Fight website, criticizes Obama for opposing the NRAs proposal of increasing the number of armed guards in schools as a way to prevent shootings like the Sandy Hook massacre.
Are the presidents kids more important than yours? asks the voiceover on the ad. Then why is he skeptical about putting armed security in our schools when his kids are protected by armed guards at their school? It continues, Mr. Obama demands the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, but hes just another elitist hypocrite when it comes to a fair share of security. Protection for their kids and gun-free zones for ours.
The video does not show pictures of the presidents daughters, using instead images of outspoken gun control advocates such as New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Vice President Joe Biden.
The ad apparently served as a preemptive strike against President Obama, who plans to unveil his high anticipated proposals to reduce gun violence on Wednesday. Along with school security, mental health and the entertainment industry, the president is also expected to recommend universal background checks, a ban on high-capacity magazines and some sort of assault weapons ban.
minimal at best and many states dont have the funds for proper firearm training for said employees. You really want Nook from down the block protecting your kids at school?
