Democrat Barack Obama lashed out Sunday at rival Hillary Rodham Clinton, mocking her vocal support for gun rights and saying her record in the Senate and as first lady belied her stated commitment to working class voters and their concerns.
The Illinois senator has spent three days on the defensive after comments he made at a San Francisco fundraiser were disclosed that suggested working class people are bitter about their economic circumstances and "cling to guns and religion" as a result.

It would have also prohibited the manufacture, sale or distribution of any type of firearms or ammunition in San Francisco."

My blog is about news and editorials related to the shooting sports, the 2nd Amendment, and the right to keep & bear arms (RKBA).
The Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights:
A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall NOT BE INFRINGED.
Just as a side note, the Militia is NOT any of the existing branches US Military which actually make up what is considered to be a professional "Standing Army" - the US Militia is a defined group of citizens in the US - specifically defined in our constitution to be all able bodied citizens from the age of 19 through 40.I love the above video - guns are for girls too, not just for boys.
