NRA begins pushback with Web ad criticizing Obama
WASHINGTON (AP) — In a sharp pushback against any new gun regulations, the National Rifle Association posted a Web video that labels President Barack Obama an "elitist hypocrite" for allowing his daughters to be protected by armed Secret Service agents while not embracing armed guards for schools.
"Are the president's kids more important than yours?" a male narrator asks in the video. "Then why is he skeptical of putting armed security in schools, when his kids are protected by armed guards in their school?"
The spot, posted even before Obama unveiled his gun policy proposals on Wednesday, drew an indignant response from the White House.
