Out West, Obama Faces Gun Battle

Remember, Obama was FOR the DC handgun ban BEFORE he was against it (i.e., after the Supreme Court's decision).

Also, Captain Constitutional Law said at Rick Warren's Saddleback Church last month that he would not appoint Justices like Scalia, Alito, Roberts, and Thomas (i.e., the MAJORITY in the Heller gun ban decision).

Further, Obama said a debate with Hillary that he is in favor of re-instituting Bill Clinton's so called "Assault Weapon Ban."

Obama is NOT gun friendly and, in fact, on this issue he is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

WAKE UP AMERICA! NOBAMA is a fake on this issue and does want to take your guns...

During the primaries, Obama tried to hide behind vague statements of support for “sportsmen” or unfounded claims of general support for the right to keep and bear arms.

But his real record, based on votes taken, political associations, and long standing positions, shows that Barack Obama is a serious threat to Second Amendment liberties. Don’t listen to his campaign rhetoric! Look instead to what he has said and done during his entire political career.

For a fully reseached and CITED view on where Barry's TRUE postion is on guns go here:

And one other thing...minimizing gun crime is related to increasing earning power of ordinary citizens...They are inversely related. As more Americans can find jobs and less families struggling, there will be less gangs and less gun violence. Americans turn to the streets just like those in other countries and fight because they feel they have no other choice. If Iraq provides jobs to its people, less will be able to recuit to extremist campaigns.

He has stated over and over. There must be a way to protect the rights of law abiding gun owners and still keep semi-automatic weapons out of the hands of criminals. So guys, yes, let's me licensed, yes let's minimize the sale of AK-47s and keep track of who's buying them. This doesn't mean that you can't get it. It's like Advil cold and sinus being behind the pharmacy counter. Yeah its annoying have to sign it out but at least it prevents young kids from making more meth (drugs). No one wants to take away your guns. No One! If you are a law abiding citizen so why the fight...?

IF I actually believed Obama and the Democrats were going to deliver on their promises of creating jobs and improving the economy, it would be very difficult to vote against them even though I have no doubt that they will try to trash the 2nd Amendment. However the pattern of behavior for the Democrats is to give american labor lip service during the campaign and forget about them afterwards.
I cannot vote for the Republicans because of their 'give everything to the wealthy' policies. The trickle down theory has failed. Wealth has not trickled down; poverty is trickling up. The destruction of the consuming power of American labor is the underlying cause of our current economic meltdown.
Since I cannot vote for the Democrats or the Republicans, I've got 49 days to decide between the Greens and the Libertarians. Maybe I'll write in a vote for Paris Hilton; I doubt even she could be worse than either of the Repucrats.

"The GOA report of the 106th Congress reveals that out of 15 votes relating to the right to keep and bear arms, Senator John McCain voted favorably only 4 times. Put that into a percentage and McCain's pro-Second Amendment voting record is a pathetic 27%."

In the US Senate, Obama voted for a particular amendment offered by Sen. Kennedy that would have banned most rifle ammunition used for sport and hunting. With a few exceptions, the entire democratic party is hostile to gun owners.

The Judges that Obama would appoint would take away our guns, or rubber stamp all sorts of restrictions.

I know Obama claims he is not going to take away our firearms yet he is on the record time and time again saying he will ban the types of legal firearms I have. Therefore, no matter what he says to the people at the rallies, his official position statements and the Democratic Party platform say otherwise.

BTW, more people have died in Ted Kennedy's back seat than from my firearms.

Obama has said that voters need not fear he will take voters guns away. But will he allow or encourage other levels of government to take our guns away? Will he pass laws preventing us from buying new ones? Will he try to prevent us from having guns on-hand when we need them, e.g. when a mugger or car-jacker threatens our lives while demanding our property? Will he appoint judges who want to allow the government to do the above? Will he give money to university professors to generate gun-control propaganda posing as "research"? Will he allow our U.N. representative to sign a treaty that obligates our government to register firearms? Will he allow the government to discriminate between private citizens and civilian police officers with respect to the kinds of firearms we are allowed to use? Will he treat the privacy of my gun ownership with the same respect that he treats the privacy of a person's library book check-out records?

These are the questions which make me worry about an Obama victory. Unfortunately, no one in his campaign has tried to reassure me about these specific issues.

Obama is the most ant-gun politician ever to vote. There is no anti-gun bill he has not voted for. He is the most left wing liberal in the Senate and c an be identified as a Marxist. Look up his record. He comes from Chicago corrupt politics where guns have been banned for years making citizens of this great city unable to defend themselves. No free citizen should vote for this Socialist/Marxist.

Gun control isn't really about guns. It's about CONTROL. Take away the ability to protect themselves and that makes us totally dependant on a police force that has no responsibility for protecting us(Gonsales Vs. Castle Rock). A mother's children went missing from her home. She had a restraining order against her ex-husband. She went to the local Police who did NOTHING to look for them or try to locate her ex husband. The ex turned up at the local police department early the next morning with the bodies of her little girls in the trunk and opened fire on the station. Despite the fact the man was violent, had firearms, had threatened the woman and her children the cops failed to do a DAMNED thing and were deemed not responsible for their lack of action by the US Supreme Court.
Why CAN'T people get that?

Obama votes with Democrats 98% of the time.

Agreeing with Pelosi, Reid, Dean...sorry but I don't find that very comforting.

Obama will not only be the abortion president--he'll be the anti-gun president.

Both Obama and Biden have a very clear anti-gun record. Perhaps they don't want to take the rifles from MY gun cabinet. But they want to make sure from their presidency forward no private citizens can buy any new modern rifles or shotguns. How is that any different? It's not, it's a ban, and it's anti-gun.

And as for "American Hunters and Shooters Association", they are indeed anti-gun. They wan't all .50 BMG rifles banned/confiscated from private citizens, whether there was any crime or not, whether there was any risk or not.

To anyone that thinks Obama does not have the votes to take your guns. The DC hand gun case was decided by a 5-4 vote. One judge voting the other way and the right of AMericians to own and keep guns would be gone. The Senate confirms judges. The Senate is democratic controlled. If Obama nominates a gun control judge he will be confirmed. Then the next gun control case to come before the court will be decided in favor of gun control. Obama has the votes he needs to take guns away. Saying he doesn't is a lie.

Obama said. "Because I know there are probably some sportsmen here in the audience. ... Even if I wanted to take it away, I couldn’t get it done. I don’t have the votes in Congress."

Mr. freeking "Constitution Law Prof" -
We can have guns even we have absolutely no interest in shooting a single animal. We need guns to keep a government like you'd want to bring about to change the country to a socialist society backed with Communist (Revolution We Can Believe In!) and Star-War (Change, We Need) slogans.

Before he even got elected, he is attempting to change the constitution.

So, what? Obama will let us keep single shot shotguns and bolt action rifles? No thanks. I don't hunt. I prefer my handguns that I carry on a daily basis for protection against the welfare scum entitlement crowd that Obama panders to.

This is Clintonian. If you've got a rifle, if you've got a shotgun, I'm not gonna take it away...but I will take your handguns.

Kate,

When Governor Palin levied additional taxes on Big Oil in Alaska, do you think Big Oil ate this additional expense and just took less profit, or did they pass on the expense to the rest of Americans in higher costs for energy?

Who pays for Alaskans rebates?

WE DO. Palin might have been good for Alaska...they love her as she found a way to save them money and stick it to the rest of us in the Lower 49! But, her policies are not good for ALL Americans.

Anyone who has ever been held up at gunpoint understands why gun control is essential in our nation.

Anyone who has ever lost a child to a stray bullet in their neighborhood understands why gun control is essential in our nation.

Anyone who has buried a teacher, killed in a school shooting, understands why gun control is essential in our nation.

Anyone who has read a news story of a child killed by a sibling, because they got their hands on a parent's improperly stored firearm, understands why gun control is essential in our nation.

AND, anyone who is a hunter, sportsman, skeet shooter, soldier, or gun collector that CARES about the safety of their fellow countrymen, women, and children, should understand why gun control is essential in our nation.

This is not a black and white issue...it is time for ALL Americans to demand safe and logical consensus, an agreeable, compromised middle-ground from their elected officials on this issue of our Right to Bear Arms.
