Script of "Hunter" (TV)

KARL RUSCH: I've got to tell you: With the high cost of gas and just about everything else, we're all feeling pinched.

(Text on screen: Karl Rusch, Virginia)

And now I learn that Barack Obama supports a huge new tax on my guns and ammo, that he voted to ban virtually all deer-hunting ammunition.

(Text on screen: Source: Chicago Defender, 12/13/99; U.S. Senate S397 Vote 217, 7/29/05)

Where is this guy from? He's probably never been hunting a day in his life.

But it's not just new taxes that Barack Obama wants. If you can believe it, he also supports a ban on the shotguns and rifles most of us use for hunting.

(Text on screen: Illinois Senate Debate #3, Obama Vs Keyes, 10/21/04)

No politician is going to take away my guns and ammo.

You don't have to be bitter to know Barack Obama isn't the kind of change we need.
