McCain on Heller
Here:
Today, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on District of Columbia v. Heller, a landmark case for all Americans who believe as I do that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to keep and bear arms. I am proud to have joined in an amicus brief to the Court calling for a ruling in keeping with the clear intent of our Founding Fathers, which ensures the Second Amendment rights of the residents of District of Columbia are reaffirmed
.
Nothing yet from Hillary or Obama.

I did happen to be hear Obama on TV a few weeks ago say that he expected that the Supreme Court would rule that the 2nd Amendment protected an individual right. My impression was that he said it with a an attitude of resignation in opposition to his own anti-gun rights feelings.

I guess this is old news but, as I recall, neither Hillary or Barrack sign the amicus from Cheney, the Senate and the House that supported the individual rights interpretation.

I seriously doubt McCain means it. But that could just be my somewhat understandable doubt of a man who co-sponsored a law killing the first amendment. I have doubts that he would support the amendment that protected the one he already destroyed

straightarrow,
Good point re: McCain. I also don’t trust someone who has atacked the First Amendment, nor someone who worked with Bush, Kennedy, Clinton, Obama and the National Council of La Raza (The Race) to legalize the invasion of our country.
Michael,
Of course, Clinton and Obama will disregard nma refuse to our individual RKBA since they both voted FOR gun confiscations (2 or 14 senators to do so) in the event of “declared emergencies”—and they’re both vying for the power to declare those emergencies!!!

Obama has been talking out of both sides of his mouth:
In the same article however:
It’s a bogus position and when the SC rules that the DC ban is unconstitutional, by that time, Obama will (maybe) have locked up the nomination and he’ll have to say up front how he disagrees with the decision.
