New NRA Ad Targets Obama, Clinton Gun Comments With Fiery Civics Reminder: ‘They Don’t Rule Us. They Don’t Give Us Rights’

Feb. 20, 2013 3:01pm Billy Hallowell

The National Rifle Association (NRA) is continuing its push-back against recent gun control proposals. In a new ad called “We are America,” the organization takes aim at controversial comments made by President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton. Using quotes from both politicians, the organization’s new video lambastes perceived assaults on the Second Amendment.

After sharing quotes from Clinton and Obama that seemingly denigrate gun owners, the NRA ad goes on to make some bold proclamations, calling the aforementioned comments arrogant and encouraging Americans to stand up and defend their right to bear arms. Additionally, the voice-over delivers a fiery “reminder” to the nation’s leaders.

New NRA Ad Attacks Obama, Clinton for Comments About Gun Owners

Photo Credit: NRA

“The arrogance of their superiority requires this reminder: They don’t rule us. They don’t give us rights. We grant them power. They don’t make us safe,” the ad proclaims. “We pay to protect them. They don’t make us free. We’re free already. And as long as we have the Second Amendment, we always will be.”

Watch the NRA spot, below:

And here’s a transcript of the voice-over in its entirety:

In a recent closed-door speech to donors, politicians and media, Bill Clinton spoke about American gun owners: “A lot of these people … all they’ve got is their hunting and their fishing.” “Or they’ve been listening to this stuff for so long that they believe it all.” And we all remember Barack Obama’s 2008 comments to a room of San Francisco elites: “It’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion.” The arrogance of their superiority requires this reminder: They don’t rule us. They don’t give us rights. We grant them power. They don’t make us safe. We pay to protect them. They don’t make us free. We’re free already. And as long as we have the Second Amendment, we always will be. We are America and our politicians are only as powerful as we, the people allow them to be.

Clearly the NRA’s message here is that politicians like Obama and Clinton should be reminded that they work for the American people and that comments deriding gun owners are not acceptable. The organization maintains that rhetoric coming from these men, among other leaders, is an attempt to marginalize law-abiding citizens.

What do you think about the ad and the accusations presented within it? Let us know in the comments section.

Problem is, “We the people” are very arrogant and lazy to get involved and understand politics. Most Americans do not want to know or hear the truth. Even people that are involved and understand politics would never elect a person who told the truth. Once they loose their government aid, and inflation kicks in, they will start looking but then its to late.

  I agreed with you up till you said we wouldn’t vote for someone who told the truth! The real problem is.. people can’t use the God given sense to see evil. It took me all of one time of listening to BHO and looking into his eyes and I knew evil. God gave everyone of us the same sense.. pretty words, or actions do not make a good President. Eyes are the windows of the soul.. people need to look into peoples eyes.. I suggest everyone look into Obama’s. Pure evil lurks there!

  Obama and the gun control people don’t know how big a can of worms they are opening up. I believe that we may give up a lot of freedoms but guns is not one of them. Once the guns are gone so are the rest of our rights.

  Well Buster, thing is, I’m not the arrogant guy who will not vote for somebody that tells the truth, which Commonsensetalk impugned me with. His version of “We the People” is highly different than how actual individuals view this nation and its issues. Hence, when he claims he speaks for some nebulous “We”, I ask about his pet pocket dwelling rodent, since clearly he was not empowered to speak on my behalf nor represent my own individual view and actions.

  So arrogant in fact that we have been believing this carbon causes global warming garbage, sure pollution in the form of toxins that’s a decent banner, but carbon is the most foul American destroying agenda right next to gun control. The facts are that there is more carbon produced by plants, volcanoes, and fires than all of the cars and factories in China could ever produce. Carbon taxes, off sets and such will never be used to clean up pollution or superfund sites, that money is part of another greedy scam put together by socialists to generate cash for their agenda. So long as cost to manufacture can be maintained artificially high in America, the US will be dependent on, China, Mexico, Brazil or other countries to survive, when we are finally fully dependent is when America will end. Just consider how many thousands of dollars that phone or i pad will be if China embargoes the US. Climate change happens, so you make common sense changes, irrigation, water pipelines, environmentally isolated growing facilities. American’s must be pretty sad and dumb if we continue to believe changing carbon levels will even begin to affect the global climate in a beneficial way. Scientists know the weather is changing, and knowing this politicians are maneuvering on that info to make money. Al Gore is no poor Monk now is he? So FYI, the history of the planet before man-kind if you believe in that or not is simply it freezes or it swelters, it’s an ice age or it’s a global tropical fo

  Ghost-
  
  You are intelligent enough to know exactly the “We the People” Commonsensetalk was referring to. If you don’t fit the mold he was talking about then clearly he wasn’t speaking for you. Give some room for broader commentary. I value your input greatly but to take insult over a small thing that ‘we’ can clearly see past… it’s not helpful. Just reply post “I know you’re not talking about me and here’s my view”… it’s easy enough.
  
  Commonsensetalk-
  
  What you are implying has some truth to it but it’s not entirely true. The general population apparently has gotten a bit lazier on things but many things cause people to vote the way they do. Usually (and sadly) the biggest factor is their pocketbook. This is a selfishness that will eventually destroy our nation, and has almost made it impossible to turn back from.
  
  Very few people appear to vote on principles anymore because it’s almost impossible to find someone that shares all of our principles fully. We’d have to strip back to a top 5 or top 3 to even get common ground on most major principles. Mr. Romney clearly shared a majority of principles to conservatives even if he didn’t mirror a complete set. Yet conservative and right leaning voters stayed home in droves on election day. Maybe it was because he was too moderate, maybe because of his faith. Either way, I agree that people that should have voted, failed to. That’s not good at all!

  I agree with what others said here about these ads only being seen by people who already agree with the sentiment. A lot of election ads are the same way. It inspires those who already agree because they are seen on the sites that we frequent, but THESE ADS NEED TO BE SEEN ON TV, especially where the shallow programming is! If they are not, they are probably wasting money that would be better spent by putting it in writing in whatever entertainment magazines are selling best these days. Do print ads. On the web, you need to be LOOKING for this stuff unless if it’s popping up on the side of yahoo or google pages.

  Just like “We” agreed Romney was a good candidate?
  
  I don’t know GhostOfJeffersons politics, I do know we have at times agreed and at other times agreed to disagree, but in this case I agree with Ghost.
  
  As a Libertarian I for one would not consider myself apart of the “we” here.
  
  I stand by what I was flamed for here in a pre-election post where I stated I felt better having Obama selling the Progressive lie because at least people are seeing his lie. The posters here flamed me as if I were a troll, obviously I was not welcome in your camp because I believed Romney was and is just as Progressive as Obama. Look at his stance on the 1994 ban that they are trying to re-pass now. Romney was vocally for it. Under Romney the blind faithful on the right would all be saying he has a point on gun control; just because its their guy selling it, and the left wouldn’t stop it. I think a large part of the base currently objecting registrations, magazine limitations, and weapon type bans would feel wrongly safer with new gun laws under a Romney Presidency. That’s just the way I see it because I saw the base do it before.
  
  This point of contention is the largest divide among the right.
  
  When Romney stated at the RNC that he was going to “repeal and replace Obamacare” there were two camps in the crowd, I was there and I noticed it:
  1. The crowd that cheered.
  2. The crowd that was alarmed and asked “Did he just say replace? Replace it with what?”

  Ghost you can do what you want except use government to rob us first of our freedom and second of everything else. Government can’t take away our freedom because it doesn’t give it to us in the first place. You keep voting for bigger government if you want but when the government over steps the constitution in my opinion they cease to hold the office and cease to be my representative. Those who try to steal freedom should automatically lose their constitutional rights also. Anyone who speaks against the constitution should be forced to sign a contract saying they give up their constitutional rights and immediately told to shut the mouth. You can’t use freedom to steal freedom just like any other criminal gets put in jail when he uses his freedom to rob or murder someone. It time to realize that the constitution does not allow for people to use freedom to steal it away from others and to try and do so is to automatically cease to have the constitutional rights. This government has committed treason and its time to treat them as traitors also.

  Ghost….whenever I talk about the American people I use the generic term ‘We the People’, whether I’m praising our amazingly positive traits, or our more base common cultural problems. Methinks you are quite defensive, and you missed his point entirely….hijacked it, even. Stand down.
  I agree with what he said and have commented on it often. We the People, are more akin to “we the sheeple,” these days.
  I would think that most of the blazers have a better handle on our ‘real’ American identity than any other loose group anywhere, but we are a small percentage of the population. And if you get out there and talk to the “average” person, you would be convinced of the mental lethargy and ignorant arrogance, COMMONSENSE is talking about……Get out there, outside your comfort zone and ask the hard questions….You will see.

  C/S Talk: You are very correct in the large amount of people who are ignorant out in the real world. Just a brief watch of “Watters World” is a typical example of the mentally challenged people out there who swallowed whole the b/s that obama put out – thinking that he was speaking factually and truthfully. When in fact – he was lying out his teeth and twisting the facts to suit his own good (as most liberals will do).

Prices are going to soar. They’re going to go through the roof for those who pay. Meanwhile, where are all the doctors? Where are all the hospitals and hospital beds? Going to be shortages.

  Truer words were never spoken concerning the horse crap that the liberal elitists, otherwise known as Progressives concerning global warming or there new handle climate change, because their efforts to sell global warming are faltering. These charlatans need to be addressed and taken to task every time their pie holes are opened. Just as gun control is a means to gain and perpetuate power and control, the use of the carbon dioxide fallacy of contributing to global warming and their attempts to justify carbon taxes, is another power grabbing and solidifying attempt.
  Evil men have no values, no integrity, compassion or honor, they know only their self aggrandizing schemes and agendas and will stop at nothing and use any means to accomplish them. They can not be reasoned with and therefore must be stopped – plain and simple.

  Thomas, they can indeed take our freedom away. Even though they did not give it to us they can take it. If a woman had to choose between feeding her children or ratting out her husband for having an antique shotgun that was in the family for generations which do you think most will choose? If people had to give up their firearms or be forced with facing multiple felony charges and thrown in jails most will accept their fate than force the gov’t to try to put millions more people in a failed excuse of a prison system. If parents were faced with either losing their children to social “services” or turning in their guns what do you think most people will do? If people do not comply with them taking our freedoms what do you think 0 will respond with?

  So “we the people” is essentially neutered in use isn’t it? That’s why I reject it. It means nothing. If it doesn’t mean all of us, then it doesn’t mean “We the People”. If it does mean all of us, then his assessment was incorrect. Either way, I reject the notion that somebody can either speak collectively on my behalf and call me negligent, or can exclude me from the body of American politics because I don’t fit his preconceived mold and conclusions.

  Sorry Max, but I reject collectivism and collectivist speak. We the People is fine when talking about what form of government we live under (a Constitutional Republic) and such, but when it’s used to impugn the entirety of the nation as being idiots, then I reject the notion that others can include me in their spiel about idiots. If “We the People” means “OK, this group over here but not you”, that in and of itself makes the term meaningless. I’ll not stand down, thank you, and I will not be grouped into some collectivist veldt in order to allow somebody else to make comfortable assertions without thought.

  The 2nd Amendment does not give a person the right to keep and bear arms for deer hunting purposes or for skeet matches on the White House lawn. Protecting hunting and sporting rights was never the purpose of the 2nd Amendment, if it was, it would have been stated. Hunting and sporting was not taken into consideration because it was not an issue at the time the 2nd Amendment was written, and it isn’t today. Hunting was expected, sporting was covered in another area of the Constitution, something most likely in the order of the “pursuit of happiness”. The authors did not take into consideration that someone would want to take our right to hunt, to gather food, or our ability to enjoy a sporting event. The single purpose of the 2nd Amendment is to protect the people from the power of the government. This declaration gives us, in as specific language as possible, the right to bear arms to secure a free state. Not the state in which we live in, but the state of freedom in which we live and are quickly losing. “Shall not be infringed”, no explanation necessary there, it simply states what it means. So, to maintain a state of freedom the right of the people to keep and bear arms cannot be taken away. How is this misinterpreted? Especially by the “Harvard” trained lawyers? It simply, “Shall not be infringed.”

  You should maybe watch the Outdoor Channel. they have been co operating with the NRA and will probably run this ad.
  
  As far as the run of the mill lanestream media outlets, you are spot on. They wouldn’t run this ad even if they were offered $1 million per minute. They had rather indoctrinate people fron the elitest, limousine liberal viewpoint. Of course it doesn’t matter if many of these elitests hire armed security personell to protect them, something the average citizen could not afford.
  
  As far as I am concerned, all these elitests can urinate or vomit on themselves while they are being assaulted, sexually or otherwise. Hopefully, they will learn, the hard way, of the folly of their plans.

The proverb about the pen being mightier than the sword doesn’t hold up in governance. The pen is only as mighty as the swords that serve it. I’ve always wondered why politicians are so blatantly arrogant to the very people who ensure that their laws and orders are enforced. Those “Neanderthals” with their guns are the only reason that anyone listens to them.

Without implied force, a law is little more than words on a piece of paper.

  It will never change if you continue to pay them for the privelage to keep screwing you over. Find another site and starve them of the dollars that enables them to continue to run over the 1st amendment while trying to destroy the 2nd and the constitution and the nation also. How far could they go if we financialy didn’t allow them to. Theres an old quote… “the fault lies not within our stars but within ourselves”.

Real sick and tired of watching Oby and Pelosi “look down their nose” at me. You all should be too. Think about it. None of you (nor I) would put up with a neighbor or even a sibling looking down their nose at you – showing you that they know their better than you. So why does everyone allow the Officials that WE put in office do this very thing to us. It’s been a long time coming that these people understand that we are ALL equal, and it is NOT their given right to place us under their feet.

“Scared” “Clinging to their guns and religion”. That doesn’t “offend” me – it pi$$es me off! What RIGHT do they have to make these statements? Clinton and Oby, you may have money, but you can easily be knocked on your a$$. Oby THINKS he is the savior of the Black people and can walk around freely because “the hood has his back”. But when it comes down to it, both he and Clinton have an army of private security that would make Putin blush. All of these Libs that are pushing beyond their boundries had better wake up quick and realize that Americans aren’t going to be pushed anymore. Just because they sit in a “leather chair” doesn’t give them any god given right to order us about. This Government is OPENLY corrupt, and they know they can’t be touched BECAUSE they have Americans scared to wipe their own butts let alone speak out.

  They donated to a lot of Democrats that are now voting for gun control measures. The moral of the story is never trust a Democrat on anything.

“Clearly the message here is that politicians like Obama and Clinton should be reminded that they work for the American people and that comments deriding gun owners are acceptable”

nice to know the blaze thinks the comments made by clinton and obama are acceptable

  LANDON410@ What is with the comment. You must have watched and read something different from what I did. What makes you think they are NOT for the 2nd Ammendment? If you think they are, you better watch the BlazeTV sometime. IMHO

The unfortunate thing is this ad is a little too late for most. Where was the NRA in 2010? 2012? As those in power know what counts are the results of elections.

People must unite and stand united or we shall all go down together. If you think Lindsay Graham or John McCain have your back you are sadly mistaken. Along with most all of the cretins in Washington on both the right and the left their only goal is to fill their pockets with our hard earned tax dollars we are stupid enough to send them every paycheck.

I have always said, if you want to get someone’s attention, take their money from them. THEN they will take notice to what you have to say.

  I agree, follow the money. I’ve performed an exhaustive search and can only conclude that it’s the C Banks that have been causing problems for 100+ years.

  The NRA made sure questions about gun ownership could not be asked by doctors as a mandate in Obamacare. They’re always on top of things when it comes to the 2nd Amendment. This ad just shows they’re leaps and bounds ahead of the Republican Party. Why was Reince given another shot? 2012 should have been the biggest slam dunk the party’s seen since Lincoln in 1864.

Excellent, Obama and the rest of the democrats want to disarm the people and impose a despotic government over us all; we are a free people who have for too long forgotten that the government is to be by, of and for the people – not the other way around.

  Yea that sounds pretty cool, but I gotta get back to American Idol.
  
  When several million Conservative, Christian and Mormon voters decide to stay home and not vote at all this time around, then we are seeing the results of that indecision. We the People must be in it together or we shall fall apart. A nation divided against itself is where we are but we all know that already.

I approve of this ad. And I’m happy to see the NRA finally grow a backbone. Too bad it had to come to this before they stopped their “common sense compromise” bullcrap.

Hopefully their next advertisement will include the words “We will not comply”. Just as a favor to me. :)

That is awesome!! We need more organizations creating ads like that. We need to flood the media, internet and newspapers with pro freedom and pro gun messages. Just the promotion of the fact that government does not give us rights, that we already have them, is a powerful statement. Too many young people do not realize that we are born free and there is no power on earth that gives us our freedom and our liberty. It was given to us by our Creator and for those who believe in no higher power, by nature. Either way, no human bestows rights on others.

  In order for those to believe Government grants us rights they must think of Government as our Master and us as nothing more than slaves.

  Time for you to go on another site. Its time that these progressives feel the financial pain for blocking the 1st amendment, and trying to destroy the 2nd amendment, and the constitution, and the republic. Yup it’s time for a new site. One that supports what we believe in.

  An informed and armed citizenry is essential to the survival of our constitutional republic. We must demand politicians both obey and enforce the Constitution. Gun control is not about guns, it’s about control.
  
  “No FREEMAN shall ever be debarred the use of arms.”
  – Thomas Jefferson, 1776.
  
  “Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government;… whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights.”
  – Thomas Jefferson.
  
  “Those who beat their swords into plowshares usually end up plowing for those who kept their swords.”
  – Benjamin Franklin.
  
  “The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government.”
  – Patrick Henry.
  
  “The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference – they deserve a place of honor with all that’s good”
  – George Washington.
