Political Elite with Concealed Carry Permits a Symptom of “Only Ones’ NOT Support for Gun Rights

Colorado ––(Ammoland.com)- Word of gun owners’ victory at the Iowa Straw Poll is spreading.

Even one of America’s premier political news sites, Politico.com, has picked up the story about how National Association for Gun Rights members just like you toppled Tim Pawlenty’s Presidential campaign.

The article even noted my subsequent call for NAGR members to lobby Governor Rick Perry to return the National Association for Gun Rights Presidential Candidate Survey.

However, Politco.com writer Maggie Haberman missed the mark when she noted that Perry has a concealed carry permit by assuming he must be pro-gun because he has a concealed weapon permit.

Senator Barbara Boxer
Senator Barbara Boxer (left),  seen here vilifying semi-automatic rifles with Dianne Feinstein, has a permit to carry.

The Washington, D.C. elites just don’t get it. They think that simply having a concealed weapon permit automatically makes any politician pro-gun.

Do you think California Democrat Senator Barbara Boxer is pro-gun? No, I don’t think so, either.

But Barbara Boxer used her influence to secure an elusive concealed carry permit from California.

I can almost hear her trying to deceive gun owners… “Trust me, I have a permit.”

Or how about New York Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer?

Schumer himself is reported to possess a New York concealed handgun permit, and both U.S. Senators regularly employed armed guards for their personal protection.

Just because a politician recognizes that being armed makes THEM safer, doesn’t mean they support YOUR right to keep and bear arms. They think they’re different than you and me, that because of their title they’re entitled to MORE rights than we are.

The Second Amendment is about much more than just carrying concealed… or hunting… or sport shooting.

Your right to keep and bear arms is a bulwark against tyranny.

Chuck Schumer
Chuck Schumer, one of the most anti-gun Senators in Washington D.C., obtained a permit to carry for self-defense.

That’s why the National Association for Gun Rights sends Presidential Candidate Surveys to politicians like Tim Pawlenty and Governor Rick Perry.

Gun owners MUST know where they stand on important issues like banning magazine or bans on certain types of semi-automatic rifles, or opposing the United Nations’ Small Arms Treaty gun-grab.

Please call Rick Perry’s campaign RIGHT NOW at (858) 483-4300 and demand that he return the National Association for Gun Rights Presidential Candidate Survey.

I hope you’ll also take a moment and re-read my article about how AmmoLand readers like you toppled Tim Pawlenty’s Presidential aspirations.

Please, don’t forget to call Governor Perry at (858) 483-4300 and demand that he return the National Association for Gun Rights Presidential Candidate Survey.

For liberty,

Treena–Typical Obama sheep. Time to stop using your welfare checks on booze and drugs. Go back to your Obama altar and masturbate to your failed, dangerous leader. Did you hear about the Fast and Furious gun scandal your dear leader approved?? Border agent was killed. Over 200 Mexicans were killed because the guns went to drug dealers. Where is your outrage on that Treena??? Are you going to blame Bush?? Liberal scum.

@Treena, that is one heck of a comment! Sorry I can't agree with much of what you said. Guns aren't the problem, people are. If a person wants to commit a crime or kill other people, it's gonna happen! As for 911, it takes time for calls to be answered. By that time, someone could be dead. One last word, you state that our only hope is Obozo! Don't place your hope in him. He will be our downfall. You have a really messed view of things!

I am sure this isn't true. The politicians that are anti-gun are good, moral, decent human beings that are the only ones standing up to gun-toting, far right, tea bagging loonies like most that post comments on here. Americans are over saturated with guns. We are a gun-loving nation and that needs to change. We have had over thirty shootings the past two years alone. It doesn't make sense to keep saying guns are "rights." They are not rights. No one has the right to shoot another person, no matter the circumstance. This is why in a modern, civilized, developed,… Read more »

Interestingly in the picture of Chucky, he has a high capacity Tech9 in his hand. Rather ironic isn't it?

Would they seriously question Rick Perry's commitment to gun rights? I find that laughable… demanding this of a guy who literally takes jogs in his Thunderwear 😛

I googled the term schumer unrestricted pistol permit and came up with 1360 hits. Is he permitted to carry in NY, or is this just a mix up in terminology (license vs carry)?

Thanks
