NRA braces for gun right’s fight brief

By Associated Press

The President of the National Rifle Association says he expects a re-elected President Obama to try and restrict the individual’s constitutional right to bear arms either through a U.N. sponsored arms treaty or by appointing judges who would overturn a 2008 Supreme Court decision recognizing that right. During a speech to the Conservative Forum in Hilo Monday, David Keene predicted Obama would lose that fight. He said his group’s membership is growing, largely because more women are joining.
