The first phase is the media campaign launched that will be heard and seen across the country.<\/p>\n<p>httpvh:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6GHf_swbne4<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe president has long supported a ban on semiautomatic rifles and their magazines,\u201d Gottlieb observed. \u201cNow his administration is going after the ammunition. Evidently, they\u2019ve decided that rifles and magazines won\u2019t be a problem if people have no ammunition to put in them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>SAF\u2019s national media campaign asks people to simply call a toll-free number <strong>(800) 413-4643<\/strong>. This will allow callers to send their message to Obama, and support the SAF media campaign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are less than two years remaining in Barack Obama\u2019s presidency,\u201d Gottlieb said. \u201cHe\u2019s scrambling to create a legacy, and a big part of that is effort is to establish himself as the man who brought restrictive gun control to America. He has weakened our military, eroded our diplomatic credibility and now he\u2019s scrambling to destroy the Second Amendment. We\u2019re giving Americans the voice to stop him.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAF is firing up American gun owners at the grassroots level to send a message that should be loud and clear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":34209,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[116,5],"tags":[2141],"class_list":["post-34207","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bloggers","category-second-amendment","tag-gun-control"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34207","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34207\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
