RNC boss: Democrats want to take away gun rights
Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele says Democrats in Washington want to take away the rights of law-abiding Americans to buy and own guns.
Steele told thousands of people Friday at the National Rifle Association's convention in Phoenix that the Obama administration has a theory that drug crime in Mexico could be prevented by banning guns in the United States.
Sen. John McCain told the crowd that the U.S. needs to do more to crack down on gun smuggling into Mexico but added that that doesn't require restricting the gun rights of law-abiding Americans. The former GOP presidential candidate says the administration has overstated the prevalence of guns being smuggled from the United States into Mexico for use by drug cartels.---
