The National Rifle Association president David Keene says his organization is deeply distrustful of President Obama and fears giving him a second term.
"We see him as the most anti-gun president in modern times," Keene said Wednesday in an interview with the Washington Examiner's Paul Bedard.
"We're fearful of a second Obama administration. That's why for the last year we've been saying that the prime political goal of the National Rifle Association, this year, is to replace Barack Obama in the White House," Keene said.

TAMPA, Fla. - They've been able to temper even the small efforts by the administration to target guns, but the National Rifle Association is rallying its members and political officials at the Republican National Convention around worries that President Obama will use a second term to unleash a rash of gun control laws.
"We see him as the most anti-gun president in modern times," NRA President David Keene told Secrets.
Keene said that Obama hasn't been successful on gun issues because of Republican opposition. But he cited reports that Obama has told Russia's president and an anti-gun lobby that he plans to push still secret initiatives in a second term. "We're fearful of a second administration," Keene said.

Around here "NRA talking point" usually means "disagrees with me on gun control."
