NRA Boss: Biden, Obama 'Disingenuous' in Their Gun-Control Efforts

January 10, 2013 07:31:00 am

In a radio interview this week, NRA President David Keene criticized Vice President Biden and President Obama over their anti-gun violence efforts, calling it a political project. "I think they're being disingenuous," Keene said, CBS News reported. "I think that they see this as an opportunity to go after the Second Amendment, which they've wanted to do for years, if not decades, and I think they're going to do everything they can to strip Americans of their right to keep and bear arms."

Biden and Obama have said they respect the Second Amendment right of gun ownership, but are looking for ways to keep weapons out of the wrong hands in the wake of last month's elementary school shooting in Connecticut.
