Letter to the Editor: Obama's anti-gun stance worrisome to letter writer

If President Obama is elected to a second term there is a good possibility that he will get to appoint at least three more U.S. Supreme Court Justices. We already have two anti-gun justices, Sotomayor and Kagen. If this were to happen we would have an anti-gun majority for a long time!

I am very concerned about this because we have a growing number of animal rights groups and they are getting a lot of support from people who are celebrities. Those of us who purchase hunting licenses are declining in number! In 1960, 7.8% of the population bought a license, and in 2007, only 4.7% bought one. Our government has a tendency to overlook small numbers of people! The number of declining hunters is a result of many factors that include expense, less opportunity and land being leased to guides and hunters.

President Obama started his onslaught on guns in 1996 when he endorsed a total ban on the manufacture, sale and possession of all handguns. Check the internet, and you find Obama has a passion against guns.

Obama recently decreed, “I can no longer wait for Congress; where Congress won’t act, I will.”
