After meeting with Vice President Joe Biden and Attorney General Eric Holder at the White House today, the National Rifle Association released a statement saying the White House has an "agenda to attack the Second Amendment."

"The National Rifle Association of America is made up of over 4 million moms and dads, daughters and sons, who are involved in the national conversation about how to prevent a tragedy like Newtown from ever happening again. We attended today's White House meeting to discuss how to keep our children safe and were prepared to have a meaningful conversation about school safety, mental health issues, the marketing of violence to our kids and the collapse of federal prosecutions of violent criminals," reads the NRA statement.

"We were disappointed with how little this meeting had to do with keeping our children safe and how much it had to do with an agenda to attack the Second Amendment. While claiming that no policy proposals would be “prejudged,” this Task Force spent most of its time on proposed restrictions on lawful firearms owners - honest, taxpaying, hardworking Americans. It is unfortunate that this Administration continues to insist on pushing failed solutions to our nation's most pressing problems. We will not allow law-abiding gun owners to be blamed for the acts of criminals and madmen. Instead, we will now take our commitment and meaningful contributions to members of congress of both parties who are interested in having an honest conversation about what works - and what does not."

If you look at the facts about US murders, there can be NO doubt about a nefarious agenda from "the administration":

fact: ~ 8500 "gun-related" US murders in 2010...

323 were by RIFLES of all kinds..about 3% of those murders

same year: murders with knives and other sharp objects: ~1700...about 5X as many as with RIFLES

murders in 2010 with BLUNT objects(clubs pipes etc)...~500...1.5X as many as with rifles

murders in 2010 by fists and feet...725

murders by DOCTORS using abortion machines...340,000...Yeah, that is 340,000. Planned Parenthood brags that they kill a baby every 94 SECONDS!!

Yet obummer wants to ban semi-auto rifles? You KNOW there is an agenda here!!
