Obama may appoint more liberal judges

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 percent of the population bought a license and in 2007 only 4.7 percent 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.”
