Newt Gingrich's record disturbing to home state gun owners Georgia gun owners long aware of Newt's anti-gun record Kennesaw, GA – The 6,000 members and supporters of the premier grassroots gun rights group in Georgia, Georgia Gun Owners, began buzzing the phone lines of the Newt 2012 Iowa campaign headquarters (515-468-9225) demanding Mr. Gingrich apologize to gun owners for his more than two-decade history of supporting gun control. "Georgia Gun Owners knows Newt's history of gun control. He represented parts of our state for 20 years. He's been playing both sides of the gun issue as long as we can remember. Take a look at the Marietta (GA) Daily Journal from September 16, 1996. The headline is 'Gingrich supports gun ban.' I remember Newt's betrayal of gun owners back in the 90s like it was yesterday," said D.R. Leonard, Political Director of Georgia Gun Owners. While Newt used the institutional gun lobby as a mouthpiece to convince millions of gun owners nationwide that "as long as he is Speaker, no gun-control legislation is going to move in committee or on the House floor," he was working behind the scenes to pass gun control. In 1996, Newt Gingrich turned his back on gun owners and voted for the anti-gun Brady Campaign's Lautenberg Gun Ban, which strips the Second Amendment rights of citizens involved in misdemeanor domestic violence charges or temporary protection orders -- in some cases for actions as minor as spanking a child. Gingrich also stood shoulder to shoulder with Nancy Pelosi to pass the "Criminal Safezones Act" which prevents armed citizens from defending themselves in certain arbitrary locations. Virtually all Americans know that Criminal Safezones don't protect law-abiding citizens, but actually protect the criminals who ignore them. "But the biggest knife that Newt plunged into the back of all Americans and gun owners who wish to defend themselves and their families, was his coming out in support of a national thumbprint database for gun owners," said Mr. Leonard. "I think we prefer to go to instant check on an immediate basis and try to accelerate implementing instant checks so that you could literally check by thumbprint... Instant check is a much better system than the Brady process." -- Newt Gingrich, June 27, 1997 "Newt Gingrich is no friend of gun owners. I wish Georgia Gun Owners had a mountaintop to scream this information from. We just want like-minded voters in early primary states like Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina to be aware of this. Newt is trying really hard to play both sides of the Second Amendment. He's a professional politician. But as the old saying goes, the proof is in the pudding. It's in his record. His own words and votes. He's a danger to our Second Amendment rights and privacy. The members of Georgia Gun Owners know this. We want ALL Americans to know this as well," said Mr. Leonard, Political Director of Georgia Gun Owners. For more information about Newt's anti-gun record, please contact Ashley Rodriguez:

None of this matters bacause Ron Paul's foreign policy is "out there"/Ron Paul is a kook/Ron Paul is a racist. So sez Sean Hannity/Mark Levin/Rush/Laura Ingraham/Mark Simone/Michael Medved/et al. There, I beat the chattering ninny's to their punch against Ron Paul, no matter the evidence against the other neocon stooges.

How about a link? You can call the campaign and forward the information to them so they can make another killer anti newt radio ad.

Newt who ????
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again."
"However, take it away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." [Josiah Stamp]

Looks like Newt is a closet gun control freak. As I've always said, "Nuck Fewt". ;) demanding Mr. Gingrich apologize to gun owners for his more than two-decade history of supporting gun control.

My guess is that GetRICH had something to do with the Georgia Guidestones too. A disarmed population is absolutely ESSENTIAL to the "Progressive" genocidal / eugenic New World Order policies laid out on the guidestones.

I spoken with Newt on several occasions...I lived in his dist in GA, and no government is big enough for Newt...He KILLED the momentum of the 1994 elections and shoved free trade down our throats...this man is DANGEROUS!

That's a fact. I remember it well. And, he IS dangerous! And when you consider he has said that the Palestinians are created people, then you can see that he is not only dangerous, but stupid, as well. ;) He KILLED the momentum of the 1994 elections and shoved free trade down our throats...this man is DANGEROUS!

Tell that to those who live in Kennesaw, Georgia. According to their law, all law abiding citizens of that town MUST keep a firearm. The only way for them to get out of it is to have a conscientious objection or to be a documented felon. A disarmed population is absolutely ESSENTIAL to the "Progressive" genocidal / eugenic New World Order policies laid out on the guidestones.

I lived in ga at the time the law was passed...in Marietta, crime fell through the floor. I'd bet it's one of the safest places to live in the nation. You'll NEVER hear that from the msn!
