Obama's Animal Rights Appointment

1/28/2009

The incoming Obama administration continues to signal that it's not going to "play nice" with gun owners, hunters and sportsmen. The latest cause for concern is the appointment of Cass Sunstein to be the new "Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs," or "regulation czar."

Sunstein has expressed support for an outright ban on hunting, telling students at Harvard University that hunting should be banned if its only purpose is for "sport or game." As "regulation czar," Sunstein may not have the authority to ban hunting, but he'll certainly be in a position to craft environmental regulations that could have profound impacts on hunters in this country.

Appointments like this mean every gun owner must be vigilant to threats to our Second Amendment freedoms, and joining the NRA means that you're signing up with 4 million other Americans to guard our liberty from those who would try to legislate or regulate it away.
