Senator Barack Obama's presidential campaign slogan, "the
audacity of hope," should have instead been "the audacity of
deceit." After months of telling the American people that he
supports the Second Amendment, and only hours after being

human lead levels of hunters in North Dakota has confirmed what
hunters throughout the world have known for hundreds of years,
that consuming game harvested with traditional ammunition poses

that the call to ban lead ammunition was and remains a scare
