State of the Union: Gun Mania
The Louisville Courier-Journal’s Joseph Gerth has been covering the NRA convention and its parade of conservative speakers attempting to turn the next election into a referrendum on the second amendment: “McCain was the keynote speaker at the event, in which speaker after speaker hammered Obama — and to a lesser degree, Clinton — for their positions on guns. Neither Obama nor Clinton was invited.
One of the few allies Obama had was Kentucky Lt. Gov. Daniel Mongiardo, who didn’t mention the presidential race in his remarks to the convention.
Karl Rove, Bush’s former political adviser, listed positions Obama has taken over the years that he said go against the beliefs of gun owners.
“Make no mistakes about it, the stakes are very, very high when it comes to the Second Amendment in this election,” Rove said.”
