Bob Barr campaign giving away Mossberg shotgun as a donor prize; warns of impending gun confiscation measures under Obama administration

Campaign email by way of the Western Standard

Subject: Which candidate for president has a permit to carry a concealed firearm?

Text: No this isn’t a trivia question. And, yes, it’s Bob Barr.

Your gun rights are not a trivial matter, that’s one reason Bob Barr wants to be our next President. And unlike any time in the past almost 15 years, our rights are threatened now more than ever.

Anti-gun Barack Obama leads in most polls and at this late date, John McCain has peaked and is falling. The McCain campaign is a lost cause – not that he was ever a real friend to gun owners.

I am old enough to remember the early days of the Clinton administration. Clinton owed the anti-gun fanatics his election victory. The same will be said for Obama and just like 1993, come the New Year, you can expect a litany of anti-gun schemes in Congress. But unlike1993, Obama will have a huge margin of anti-gun members of Congress. In the Senate, he may even have 60 – enough to block a filibuster.

Semi-automatic firearms of every type will be first on the targeted list. Guns like my HK 12 guage shotgun, my Colt AR-15 and every one of my auto loading pistols (Glocks, Beretta’s, Rugers, Sigs, HK, S&W – all of them) And with that, magazine capacities will be reduced. Next, expect a massive fee to be collected for processing the mandatory back ground checks. And finally, an ammo tax of say 200% or more. And that’s just in the first few months of the new Congress!

After that, total bans and ultimately, confiscation of the types seen in England, Australia and other countries.

Bob Barr would allow none of this nonsense. And unlike many politicians who claim to be pro-gun, Bob Barr walks the walk. Yes, he exercises his right to own and carry firearms, just like me and millions of other law-abiding Americans.

And when he does, it’s a .45 Glock that he has holstered. (As for me, I guess I’m a wimp since I carry only a .40 Glock.)

But enough about us. This message is about you, your gun rights and a very special offer. You see, this morning I received word that one of our most generous donors is giving the campaign a new, in the box, hard to find, 12 gauge Mossberg Model 590A pump shotgun.

Why would Bob’s friend choose such a firearm to give to the campaign?

First, he wants us to use it to motivate our donors to support the Bob Barr mission and second he selected a gun that if Barack Obama becomes president, it will be high on the endangered species list to be banned.

You see, the Mossberg 590 is compact and an ideal firearm for home defense. It holds up to nine rounds and with its optional pistol grip (included) is easy to point and cycle. And it features a bayonet lug that absolutely drives the anti-gun crowd crazy!

The polymer stock and rugged finish assure you years of low maintenance protection for your family and your belongings. Just the sound of a cartridge being racked into place strikes fear into the heart of your typical low-life burglar or robber.

Now as if the regular features of this firearm (retailing for about $500) aren’t enough to get your interest, let me add something that will make this a treasured addition to your collection. Bob Barr will personally autograph your gun with a personal inscription to you. Years from now, your descendents will cherish this heirloom as your legacy to freedom and liberty.

Here’s what we are going to do. The donor who makes the highest contribution to the Barr Presidential campaign online before 12:00 midnight EDT October 29 will receives this fine example of American technology and craftsmanship. If there is a tie, each tied contributor will receive this special gift.
