Watch Again: President Obama Tells Gun Store Owner That No One Is Coming for His Weapons (Video)

As the NRA continues to fuel fears that Democrats will take away Americans’ firearms, let’s make sure everyone hears what President Obama told a gun store owner in early June. Namely, that by funding the political campaigns of lawmakers who refuse to improve gun laws, the NRA and the rest of the gun lobby are ensuring that U.S. policy continues to prioritize profit before life.
