Obama Eager to Distance Self from Campaign's Former Position on DC Handgun Ban

Obama is so full of crap! He flip flops all the time. It is one thing for a politician to change his policy, but it is entirely another thing for that politician to flat out LIE and say he has been consistent. I would never vote for him!

Well, well, well, mr. Flip Flopper himself Mr. Obama on gun ban. Go figure! That wrinkled up prune face raisin Kerry must have rubbed off on him! I LOVE IT! The more he irritates people the more people will vote for John McCain and we can rid ourselves of this little pesky insect on the political screen, Obama! He's nothing special! He's a motivational speaker and nothing more. Read the articles in the paper about his housing debacle and the sub-standard housind he and his cronies provided for people and the fact that these same cronies are all around him in his campaign. He certainly hangs around with unsavory characters and the Obama zombies worship him like a God! What a joke! We now have over 200 HILLARY SUPPORTERS COUNT TOO! organizations and have surpassed the 3 million member mark. It keeps growing and growing every day by leaps and bounds. We will be blocking Obama from being elected in November! Go McCain!! And, we hope to hit the 5 million member mark by October, so we can block Obama and have McCain elected. SO, ARE WE STILL JUST A RADICAL FEW ON THE OUTER FRINGES OF THE PARTY? Last time I checked several million people could make or break an election! Don't kid yourselves into thinking that we don't matter and that we will just go away! We are getting stronger and stronger every day. It is just the beginnining! And, I hope that every Obama supporter feels the same pain that we felt when Hillary was stabbed in the back by the Democratic party. It doesn't feel so good when you are the recipient, does it? Boo! hoo! No mercy from me for any of you!

As a former Democrat, I'd like to apologize on behalf of my former party for nominating such an untrustworthy flip-flopper. I did not vote and will not vote for him.

He changes his stance depending who the audience is. Problem is, people from different states do talk and it just exposes what a fraud he is.

BHO is going to need 1 million just to keep him in supply of fresh flip flops!

I now understand why Sen Obama no longer teaches constituional law.
He wasn't very good at it....

OMG are you Obama supporters amazing. It is simple: in November Obama said "the DC ban IS Constitutional", then in June the Supreme Court rules it IS NOT Constitutional and Obama follows the decision and says he "agrees with the Court's ruling." Obama: Is constitutional, Supreme Court: Is not constitutional, Obama: Supreme court is right.
That is pretty simple so if any supporters here are stupid...

Senator Obama is for controlled gun control. Guns in the hands of gangs.irresponsible adults are killing people everyday, this is what he says needs to be addressed, as any responsible person would want, I should think. Everyone is for having guns but there has to be some sort of control on who are sellilng and buying. If you want to vote for McSame then do it. You are probably the ones that voted Bush into office twice. So your credibility and judgement sucks anyway. So this time try to do the right things and vote for Obama. You call Obama, adding to his beliefs, flip flopping and McCain't the master flip flopper is not mentioned. Responsible adults should own guns. How many irresponsible people, gangs, criminals etc. are in American. Any concern about this? I haven't heard much about that.

This guy obama is the biggest fraud my party has ever nominated. I am sorry but my principles forbid me from voting for him despite being a Democrat. I don't want my kids subjected to such an unprincipled person. Oh by the way Barack, STOP emailing Hollywood starlets....you are married with two kids.

Obama is against guns and then for them

For public finance then against it

Will debate any time any place--but only on the 4th of July and one other time

Against wire-tapping then for it/FISA
(and the farleft is mad!)

For Rev Wright then against him

This could go on and on..
Hope and Change is becoming the reality that Obama is just another ordinary politician. Not qualified to lead this country.

What is Obama hiding that he can't take a stand on anything?

Obama promises change we can believe in. Every time he changes his mind, he delivers on that promise. I've often wondered what he meant by "change," now I know. Good show, Obama!

Given Obama's written support for a total handgun ban going back to '96, and his 8 years on the board of a nonprofit that spent $2.7 million to advocate the ban of all handguns, his disavowal of staff comments that he supported the DC gun ban is not credible.

C Good - careful. Age does not by default mean wisdom. McCain has the age but that's about it.

of course he's changing course. It's not cool anymore to be against gun control. Just so people know: anyone who votes for Obama or McCain is a moron.

This man could be a very good stand-up comedian. This is getting funnier by the day. I can't believe our country is in this position. McCain is a much better choice than Obama. I'll take age and wisdom over youth and stupidity any day. How did this man teach Constitutional Law? I have a hard time understanding people being mesmerized by him. Anything he says and does isn't suppose to be questioned and he's always right. Come on people we need to wake up and smell the roses. Now they are having polls on MO and CMc. Unreal!!

GUN OWNERS: REMEMBER WHEN SENATOR OBAMA CALLED HILLARY CLINTON ANNIE OAKLEY BECAUSE SHE SUPPORTED THEIR RIGHTS TO HAVE THEIR GUNS? TIME TO RETHINK WHO YOU ARE SUPPORTING IF OBAMA WAS YOUR CANDIDATE OF CHOICE!!! HE WILL SIDESTEP IT AND TALK HIS WAY AROUND IT WITH THAT DOUBLE EDGED TONGUE OF HIS! DON'T BELIEVE HIM FOR A MINUTE! HE IS MORE OF THE SAME POLITICS WE CURRENTLY HAVE THAN HILLARY WAS EVER PART OF. HE IS A JOKE!

Obama is for gun ownership and against it.

Isn't that clear?

Miguel - you're world is so simple!

Most people are used to see things in absolutes, in opposites, black and white, (+)or(-), and are missing the point on what Obama has been saying about issues such as gun control and death penalty.

Obama talks about how in a lot of cases apparent opposite ideologies could co-exist because we all share same goals. Regarding gun control the guy has been saying that there are loopholes used by Corporations making their money selling weapons without conducting background checks, like when they have gun shows anybody could buy a gun with no problems.

And that is anybody! And I think we all, liberals, moderates and conservatives, agree that not everybody is qualified to carry a gun. This is just one example. If anyone puts prejudice aside and gives a fair trial to Obama, they will understand what the fuss is all about.

The GOP, Gun industry lobbyist, will try to use this absolutes approach to put the label "gun control" on any Democrat, when Obama is simply offering common sense solutions, facing reality without affecting constitutional rights.
Obama/Biden 2008

I guess Obama thinks this will help him win over those bitter rural Americans clinging to their guns. Not!
