Editor:

I Have ran into a few people who think Barack Obama will take away their guns -- not even! He wants to make sure gangs do not have AK-47s, and you would have to live in a crime, drug riddled community to understand the chaos!

No one will ever lose their gun rights in the USA. Stop buying into the Republican fear machine. Eight years of Bush fear mongering and this is the only thing on some people's minds.

Barack Obama wants to help all military families, with full benefits and he pushed through the new GI Bill of Rights, more money for veterans schooling and better military/VAMC medical. McCain only uses the military to prop up his propaganda with fake window dressing!

Check it out, McCain has cut veterans' benefits and wants to do away with the VAMC system, privatize Social Security, and has voted against better VAMC solutions most of his life. Mcbush acts pro military/veteran to sucker the military men and women and vets into voting for him, but he has no plan to improve their tours of duty or their benefits.

I am voting for Barack Obama he is the only one along with Joe Biden to get us out of so many quagmires. This Republican is voting with the Dems and Independents!

With more than $100 million in his banking account and seven homes he can't keep track of, do you really think he cares about the middle class (that he defines as those making around $5 million)?

OWEN TOTH, Wheatland

" Lemme see here. Obama doesn't want to take my guns away?

From what I can tell he:

1. Wants to ban use of firearms for self defense.
2. Wants federal legislation banning right to carry.
3. Ban the manufacture, sale, and possession of handguns.
4. Close down 90% of gun stores in America.
5. Ban rifle ammuntion commonly used for hunting and sport shooting.
6. Increasing taxes on guns and ammuntion by 500%.
7. Restore voting rights to 5 MILLION criminals including those convicted of violent crime.
8. Expand the cosmetic ban on weapons that look scary to include millions more.
9. Mandate gov't approved license to buy firearms.
10. Appoint judges to the SC who share his views on the 2A.

All of this was from the Apex of the Triangle of Death known as the NRA. It is all easily verifiable from independent sources. Get your google-fu on and check it out yourself.

As for the AK thing, are you calling me a criminal? Just because I own two or three civilian legal AK clones this makes me a criminal? Get a grip Mr. Toth. I'm no more a criminal than you are.

Barrack *Redacted* Obama is as cozy to gun owners as a snake is to a mouse. His sham endoresement from AHSA was just that, a sham. An astro turf organization built from Jyce Foundation funds to give Marxist/Socialist/Liberal politicians a pro-gun feel. Trust me, after he's down with my "assault weapons", he's going after your "high powered sniper rifle".

Barrack Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Obama: No Thanks, Keep the Change. "

" Gawd what an ignorant brainwashed comment , hazmat. You sheeple Republikans really do show your mentality sometimes. Thanks for the daily joke. "

Have Family in Illinois wrote on Sep 3, 2008 1:41 PM:

" Hazmat you are accurate yet you did not even come close to what is comming if BamBam gets elected.

Illinois requires a state issued (for a fee) resident firearms identification card.

Illinois requires this card to even buy patch and ball for a flintlock.

Mail order of even black powder firearms is illegal look it up on Cabelas site for the restrictions by state.

Bordering states can purchase some things. If you are not from Illinois or one of the bordering states take hunting ammo with you. They will sell you the hunting license and then tell you you can not buy ammunition to hunt with.

Your friends or family with the id card can not purchase firearms or ammo for you or they will end up in jail.

BamBam also supports these things too and has been behind the communistic restriction of guns and related issues in Illinois yet some want to give him this nation as his playpen. "

Tipi wrote on Sep 3, 2008 4:15 PM:

" And you need 3 AKs for what? The name Hazmat fits. "

hazmat wrote on Sep 3, 2008 5:23 PM:

" Tipi, I don't 'need' anything. I especially don't 'need' you, or anyone else for that matter, deciding what I do and do not need. Typical.

The bottom line is this. This Marxist has stated publicly he does not believe in the 2A. Plain and simple. The list I posted above was culled from over 10 years of Barrack Messin' With Sasquatch Obama's voting record from the state house of Illinois to his 13hrs in the US Senate and everything in between.

Both the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership, the Violence Policy Center, and the Joyce Foundation, (or George Soros for short) have a seat at his table. Their idea of 'reasonable' restrictions on firearms is awhole lot different than mine.

How anyone can vote for this socialist in this state is beyond me. WY has always been a state of rugged individualism, not nanny collectivists, which is exactly what you'll get if you vote for Barrack They Call Me Bruce Obama in November. "

Carrier wrote on Sep 3, 2008 6:02 PM:

" I too have family in Illinios. Some of the most whacked out gun laws in the US. Cook county was trying to ban Cabelas for crying out loud. Obama backed many of these restrictive guns laws in the state. Yes, he wants to take your guns. He has as much said so before. Remember the "clinging to guns and religion" comment. That's how the man feels. It's a matter of record. Get over it. "

hazmat wrote on Sep 4, 2008 1:23 PM:

" If Mr Toth and others like him (i.e. Gov Schweitzer, ahem) think this communist will leave there guns alone, they've got their heads buried somewhere, and it's not in the sand.

Simple research. That is all it would take to refute the points I have made. Yet Tipi and TR cannot or will not refute anything, but instead, want to call me names and question my freedom of choice.

I've got news for you both, I'm not brainwashed and I'm by no means a herd animal. I am CONSERVATIVE. I want to CONSERVE this great nation, not turn it in to some slobbering European wannabe because that is the flavor of the week. If that makes me bitter and want to cling to my guns and religion (though I must confess I'm not a very religious person), dang, I guess I'm busted. Caught me there skippy. Guilty.

Although I find it interesting that the folks who are accusing me of being "sheeple", embrace a collectivist mentality where there is no individuality, and to speak out in any way agianst the party line is punished. Now where have I heard this before? Oh yeah, I remember. From every immigrant from a communist country (Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Russia, China, North Korea, Cuba, et al), that's where. Hmm, maybe they want that for all of us?

joe six pack wrote on Sep 8, 2008 8:51 AM:

" Hussein OB is a communist. He will not only take your guns away; he will socialize health care. We will have crappy health care like in Canada and the UK. Hazmat is right! MAHGUNS - try getting yourself a job to pay for lil johnny's health care - or keep the horse in the barn loser. Typical Democrat looking for a handout. You should be the one to pay for lil johnny - not me, you commie drain on society. "

" Who cares if you can have guns if you can't afford to buy them? With Obama's middle class tax cut you'll be able to buy a new .270 and an elk permit. "

JW wrote on Sep 8, 2008 5:59 PM:

" If any of you actually want to read what the candidates really have said, check out Ontheissues.org website. It has many, many news articles and actual quotes from the candidates on the issues. Read the actual articles and then make up your mind. Use your brain and try reading the real scoop. To make up your mind about a candidate for such an important position as the President of the United States without doing your own research is amazingly stupid. "

" The GOP Kool-Aid must be partiuclarly strong this year! Question: Where do these people go to become this stupid? "

WYO Native wrote on Sep 9, 2008 10:53 AM:

" Wow, last I knew it takes a two-thirds vote of Congress and 3/4 of the states to agree to amend the constitution, but some of you think Obama can do it by himself. I guess he really is an agent for change. People used that same belief to vote for Bush and look where that got us. And joe-six-pack, it must be a lovely experience hanging out with you, someone who seems to not care about anyone but, of course, yourself. But as I grow older I am realizing that not caring about anyone but yourself is a traditional republican value. "

Get Over It wrote on Sep 9, 2008 3:58 PM:

" If anyone actually believes that anyone is going to take away your guns no matter who wins the election, I have some ocean front property in Casper to sell you. If you are blindly voting republican against your own best interest because you are afraid of getting your guns taken away you truly are mindless lemmings. Try thinking for yourselves for once and actually look at the policies of the candidates and make an intelligent decision for once in your adult lives. "

WyomingGal wrote on Sep 9, 2008 5:12 PM:

" Funny, but wasn't it during Reagan's presidency that we got the Brady bill in the first place? I seem to recall that James Brady was shot in the head the same time that Reagan was shot in the underarm, thus we got all sorts of new and interesting laws put on the books like the three day waiting period. Now remember this was during a REPUBLICAN administration and not a democratic one. So just who wants to take your guns away? "

The REAL Jane Sixpack wrote on Sep 9, 2008 8:44 PM:

" Joe Sixpack: First of all I have to laugh at your “name” Joe Sixpack is a term my dad has used for years to describe the working man, the underdog, the middle class. You know. Those guys the republicans routinely BEAT UP? Maybe you should change your name… something like Joe-I don’t give a darn about anyone but myself would probably do!

I don’t know you you’ve been talking to but most Canadians LOVE their health care. You might not have noticed this yet but health care in America is lacking to say the least. Yes my husband and I have it through his job but he works for a small company and it is very expensive. (Better then nothing!) Obama will regulate this so that everyone can afford health care. You tell Mahguns to get a job so that he may provide healthcare for his child? Lots of companies in this day and age don’t even provide health care for the employees. Or maybe they do but the hourly pay would be way less and then how is he going to feed/clothe/put a roof over little jonny’s head? This is something you Rethugs never seem to think of! "

WyoWolfHunter wrote on Sep 10, 2008 7:55 AM:

" WyomingGal, I reccommend that you do a little research before you spout off. The Brady Bill was passed in 1993 by a Democrat Controlled Congress, and then was signed into law by Bill Clinton, who also is a DEMOCRAT. "

joe six pac k wrote on Sep 10, 2008 12:30 PM:

" REAL Jane Sixpack - yes, Canadians love their healthcare in Canada so much that they come to the US for treatment. Problem being treatment is free in Canada, but you can't get treated. Socialized health care is one of the biggest threats Nobama brings to the table. Please elaborate on how Nobama will "regulate" the health care system. How? Exactly what will he do? Pay physicians construction wages? Guess that will sap their initiative to go through 10-12 years of school, and pretty soon you won't HAVE any physicians.

And yes Mahguns needs to quit crying and get a job and pay his own way. If you want to pay for lil johnny he couldn't afford to have, so be it, but don't ask me to pay for lil johhny. You Democrats think everything needs to be handed to you on a silver plattter. Yes, go ahead and procreate. Have some more babies you can't afford. Someone will step up and pay for it. Just not me if I have my say in it. lil johnny can die for all I care. Not my problem. "

The REAL Jane Sixpack wrote on Sep 10, 2008 1:42 PM:

" Joe I don't care about any one but me:

It’s a myth that ALL Canadians come here for their health care. Some might for their own reasons. Everyone I have talked to seem to love it. Universal Health Care is about the only shot this country has. I am all for it!

Where in Mahgun’s statement did he say he wasn’t paying his own way? I know plenty of people who work their butts off 50-60 hours a week who’s employers do not have health coverage. Some of them have NO health coverage and some of them buy it privately even though it is EXTREAMLY expensive. They are barely making ends meet on their own. They won’t ask for help and that’s ok because they probably “make too much” to receive any.

And really Joe what is with the emphasis on his name? He was named after his father. Big Deal! Did you get to name yourself? I am sure he didn’t pop outta mommies belly and say “Guess what Ma! I’m gonna be president someday and I think it would be SUPER FUN if you gave me a name that republican’s can use to instill fear in the hearts of the people!” "

joe six pack wrote on Sep 10, 2008 3:51 PM:

" Jane I agree health care is expensive. Too expensive. I just don't think socializing medicine is the answer. It's not Nobama's name that worries me, it's the fact that he will ruin this country given the chance. "

The REAL Jane Sixpack wrote on Sep 11, 2008 2:17 PM:

" Well Joe I doubt he can do any worse then Bush has done already. Might as well try something new, the last 8 years have NOT been working! "

Exactly wrote on Sep 12, 2008 9:32 AM:

" I'm with you Jane. I don't see how Obama could possibly screw things up any worse than Bush and the republicans have done for the last eight years. Since McCain has been with Bush on almost every initiative and is campaigning on almost exactly the same policy proposals as Bush, I don't see any other possible choice but to go with Obama; our only hope for change this election.
