The Rifle Association's 'True Story' (FactCheck.org)

October 23, 2008

"The National Rifle Association continues to go after Sen. Barack Obama on the issue of gun control with a new 30-second TV spot called "Imagine," which it said would run in Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. The ad takes liberties both with the facts of the "true story" it purports to tell, and the substance of Obama's vote."
