DENVER (AP) -- They're "Rednecks for Obama" and they're proud of it.
Tony Veissman and Les Spencer like to hunt and fish. They also like Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. The buddies drove from Rolla, Missouri, to the Democratic Convention in Denver to show their support for the Illinois senator. Veissman and Spencer stood outside the Pepsi Center with a banner reading "Rednecks for Obama."
Veissman is a retired Missouri state trooper and says Obama is "bright." He adds they're "trying to get all the rednecks to vote for Obama."

So I don’t want any misunderstanding, so that when we all go home and you’re talking to your buddies, and they say, ‘Aw, he wants to take my gun away,’ you heard it here. . . . I believe in the Second Amendment. I believe in people’s lawful right to bear arms. I will not take your shotgun away from you. I will not take your rifle away. I won’t take your handgun away.” Obama said he was for “common-sense gun-safety laws,” and repeated again, “I am not gonna take your guns away. So, if you wanna find an excuse not to vote for me, don’t use that one, because that just ain’t true. It just ain’t true!”
