Gordon Ball gets F rating from NRA
We were just talking about him. NRA is not a fan:
In the news release, NRA-PVF cites comments Ball was quoted making to Knoxviews, a blog the gun-rights group described as “progressive citizen media for East Tennessee.”
The NRA says Ball “publicly endorsed Bloomberg’s overreaching and intrusive so-called ‘universal’ background check system that would require federal government approval for transferring firearms between lifelong friends and many family members. Ball also stated he supports more restrictions on magazines and commonly used semi-automatic firearms.”
Chris W. Cox, chairman of the NRA-PVF, charged that “on the issue of gun control, there isn’t a dimes worth of difference between Michael Bloomberg, Barack Obama and Gordon Ball. Gordon Ball is the kind of candidate who will say he supports the Second Amendment just to win an election, but if elected, will be a reliable vote for the Obama-Bloomberg gun control agenda.”
In the interview posted on the Knoxviews website, Ball said, “with obvious exceptions, I support the right of every American to own a gun to protect themselves and their families. However, we have to use common sense. We can’t forget the tragedies of Columbine, Newtown, and Fort Hood. Polls show that nearly 90% of Americans support a strong system of background checks for gun purchases.
Anyone who parrots the 90% line is definitely not on the side of good.

This means he’s quite willing to violate the 4th and 5th Amendments which would be necessary for “universal background checks”. BRW, which mass murderers did not get their guns legally? Well, supposedly murdered his mother to get what he used. So violating my rights should fix that,huh, Gordon Ball?
