Sounds like a form letter since the actual question was completely avoided. Or Obama is a total weasel. Or more likely both!

There is no question that the gun issue is biting Obama in the ass, especially with ‘Reagan democrats’. The good guys need to turn up the heat on this issue.

I worry about keeping guns out of the hands of Obama.

“I support the re-imposition of the ban on the sale of assault weapons that expired in September 2004 because I believe these guns are used primarily for criminal rather than sporting intent.”

I don’t give a damn what Obama or any politician believes. I’m not interested in his opinion, or what he thinks folks are doing with guns. Look at the facts, or take a flying fuck at a rolling donut.

Laws ain’t about opinions. Like Miss Tam says, Ignorance Is No Excuse For A Law.

Note that there is no defense, liberal or otherwise, of Obama’s heinous disregard for the 2nd amendment other than some weak ‘do not worry, he is not going to take your guns, sportsmen” line. There is no doubt that if you like your 2nd amendment, you have to vote against this bum.

Chicago

Where the criminals , have more rights than the victims.

“What an idiot. �used primarily for criminal rather than sporting intent.� He obviously hasn�t looked at the numbers because those guns that were banned are practically never used in crimes.”

Of course he didnt look anything up. Not even the fact that Chicago’s gun laws did nothing to decrease crime and in fact crime went UP.

But he cant let those annoying FACTS interfere with his goal to impose his will on the masses, like any wannabe dictator.

Well, of course an erstwhile tyrant would consider anyone who intended resistance a criminal. Anyone who intends effective resistance is a really dangerous criminal. III

RAH, are you kidding. Obama would never do that. After all, if the government locked up all the thieves, rapists, murderers, drug pushers, illegal aliens, and the other miscreants who commit massive amounts of crime there would be no one left to vote Democrat.

All they need to do with criminals is catche them and presecute and jial them. Really simple. The gun is irrevelant , it is the crime that is the problem. Deal with crime and stop focusing on guns.

The right to bear arms implies we accept the risk of arms getting into the hands of people who use arms for criminal purposes. Idiot Obama does not understand, the restricting the ability of criminals to get guns, restricts the rigts of law abiding.

“for the children”

“I also support requiring gun manufacturers to install child safety locks on all of their products.”

At the shop the other day I found that Smith and Wesson did a small run of 642s without that horrible internal lock.

I’ve never bought a brand new gun in my life. This was my first.

I’m sure Barry would care just as much about the reported issues with Smith internal locks, as he is with actual crime statistics.

As a statewide elected official who has traveled our state extensively, I appreciate how strongly sportsmen, hunters and collectors feel about their rights to own firearms.

Note the conspicuous absence of appreciation for those who own guns for self-defense.

Wow.

I honestly didn’t think this would be an issue in this election. At least, not a major one. I knew all the Democrats (especially Biden) were GFWs but I didn’t think they’d own up to it too much. But with Obama taking this stance, and having that cretin Biden as his VP…

… and McCain picking Sarah Palin as his…

It looks like the Republicans can make this into an issue. And I hope they do; I don’t want that idiot or his cretin anywhere near my rights. Maybe it’ll turn into another 1994, where Democrats are reminded that we like our guns. A lot. For example, we like them more than we hate the goobtastic big government Republicans running that party.

A corrupt government and rising levels of violence? It’s long past time for the US to withdraw… from Chicago.

It pisses me off that we nation build in sandy third world shitholes when half as many bombs spent decapitating the Daley regime would have done 10x more good for American interests. Shock and awesome, indeed.

Every time he talks about the 2nd amendment, I have the urge to say things that would get me arrested by the secret service. Speaking of which, wtf happened to freedom of speech in this country?

What an idiot. “used primarily for criminal rather than sporting intent.” He obviously hasn’t looked at the numbers because those guns that were banned are practically never used in crimes.

And that paragon of anti-gun laws, Chicago, is a great example isn’t it? Since it had more deaths than our soldiers in Iraq last month.
