An Important Message From The Man Who Wrote The Book On White People

Literally. Senator Jim Webb vouches for Barack Obama on guns:

In the ad, Webb, a Vietnam vet and gun enthusiast, recounts his own gun history — his dad gave him his first rifle when he was eight — and goes on to explain that gun-love runs in his veins.

“Our family tradition of hunting and shooting are a way of life to me, and no government will ever take that away,” Webb says. “I am an NRA member and I know that my friend Barack Obama will protect our second amendment rights. So don’t be misled about Barack Obama…I trust him to protect our right to keep and bear arms.”

The repetition of the word “trust” is interesting, as is Webb’s description of Obama as “my friend.” Webb’s military and gun cred are being pressed into service to deflect attacks on Obama as a risky unknown, and Webb is personally vouching for his fellow Senator.
