As the Democratic Party struggles to find an electoral path which will enable it to avoid losing control of the House of Representatives in November, one surprising source of hope is the National Rifle Association.

Democrats started moving away from a strong anti-gun stance in the 90's when many in the party blamed the issue on massive political losses in Congress.

Democratic candidates in key states are embracing gun owners’ rights, winning favor from the National Rifle Association, a lobby that has long been the target of disdain from the party faithful.

Media Matters exposes Alan Gottlieb, the founder of the Second Amendment Foundation, who appeared on cable news to discuss President Obama's plans to "take away everybody's guns." Gottlieb's arguments are debunked one by one. The author concludes by stating that "when someone is willing to distort basic facts and utter transparent lies, they should not be afforded the platform of a credible advocate to debate issues on national television".

Across the country, people afraid that Barack Obama will take away their gun rights are rushing to buy firearms. The word for such people is: suckers.
