NRA Responds To Obamas Tearful Message On Gun Control The nation erupted when President Barack Obama cried to the American people during his executive action speech about his new gun control measures. The gun lobby may be holding Congress hostage right now, but they cant hold America hostage, Obama told the nation, through crocodile tears. Not everybody was fooled by the emotional display, however. Chris Cox, the head of the NRAs lobbying arm, was quick to speak out. We will not allow law-abiding gun owners to become scapegoats for President Obamas failed policies, Cox argued, adding that Americans cannot forget that Obama is attempting to limit their Second Amendment rights. The proposed executive actions are ripe for abuse by the Obama administration, which has made no secret of its contempt for the Second Amendment, Cox continued. The NRA will continue to fight to protect the fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed under our Constitution. What do you think? Do you see through Obamas performance? Its going to take more than tears to strip of us of our rights.
