Gun Control – hitting what you are aiming at.

Gun Saftey – making sure of what you are aiming at.

Anyone who uses those two definitions gets my vote.

Of course the 2nd Amendment is an individual right.

What government ever needed a Constitutional amendment to arm itself?

Does anyone, anywhere, think Ben Franklin slapped himself in the head saying “Hey guys! We forgot to add in something so we can give the Army some muskets!”.

Interpretation: “common sense safety measuers” = a total ban of private firearm ownership. Except for the elites like himself.

What I believe: is this subject, is above obama’s paygrade.

Great point, kaveman.

Another point of ignorance for this supposed instructor of constitutional law… whatt about “the equal protection of the laws” -14th Amendment. Shouldn’t the gun control laws he wants to impsoe on us apply to him and his hired guns?? If we applied the Constitution there, then all of this gun control would go away….

I’d settle for ONE.

Hey, Barry, tell me ONE thing you’ve done to help defend and restore the Second Amendment rights of the people of Chicago. JUST ONE.

Lying little cunt.

Please note that if you poses a handgun, or a long arm in Chicago without a State-issued firearms permit you AREN’T “Law -abiding”

Nice little trick of the gun grabbers. Say you’ll support lawful gun owners…then ban guns and jail the people who now own contraband.

They did it in Massachusetts. FIDs were good for life…then one day they were junk and a new permit needed to be applied for and new fees needed to be paid.

Lots of people didn’t even know about it, and they certainly were never contacted. Those people are now felons in the state and are looking at jail time if their guns and For-life FIDs are found.

Oh we have nothing to fear all right!

The NRA teaches gun safety. Obama and his ilk wouldn’t know gun safety if they saw it.

To provide for CALLING FORTH THE MILITIA to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions;

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the militia, and for governing SUCH PART OF THEM AS MAY BE EMPLOYED IN THE SERVICE OF THE UNITED STATES, reserving to the states respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress; –Article I, Section 8.15-16

Notice that only such part of the organized militia which is called forth, organized and employed is under any Federal laws applying to the militia. The purpose of the unorganized or state organized militia’s being part of the Bill of Rights are withheld from any Federal jurisdiction. The sentence of the 2nd Amendment read by standard English grammar presents “the militia” as synonomous with “the people” in the indpendent clause. According to teh context of the Preamble to the Bill of Rights, the U.S. Government “SHALL NOT INFRINGE on the right of the people to keep and bear arms.” Andy Federal gun laws are an infringement UNLESS they only apply to “such part” mentioned Article I, Sewction 8.

Obama supposedly taught Constitutinal Law so he should know this and speak according to the oath of office he hopes to take. Now that would be some real CHANGE!

Hypocrite.

Then why does he support a Federal ban on bearing arms, even if the person bearing jumps through unconstitutional licensing hoops?

Obama is flagrantly lying. McCain lies about supporting our natual rights as protected by the Second Amendment too, but Obama is even more of a threat.

Obama will end that “awkward stage” America is in much much faster. Maybe that could be McCain’s slogan for us SNBI’ers? “McCain 2008: Extend the Awkward Stage!”
