Once again I am posting the facts on the most antigun presidential candidate in history as we still have folks making the false claim that Barack supports the 2nd ammendment.
Obama’s Anti Gun Rights Record
Published by the LearnAboutGuns.com Author on Thursday, August 28th, 2008 at 12:01 am
FACT: Barack Obama voted against the confirmation of 2 of the 5 Justices that affirmed an individual right to keep and bear arms.
FACT: Barack Obama voted to allow reckless lawsuits designed to bankrupt the firearms industry.
FACT: Barack Obama wants to re-impose the failed and discredited Clinton Gun Ban.
FACT: Barack Obama voted to ban almost all rifle ammunition commonly used for hunting and sport shooting.
FACT: Barack Obama has endorsed a 500% increase in the federal excise tax on firearms and ammunition.
FACT: Barack Obama has endorsed a complete ban on handgun ownership.
FACT: Barack Obama supports local gun bans in Chicago, Washington, D.C., and other cities.
FACT: Barack Obama voted to uphold local gun bans and the criminal prosecution of people
who use firearms in self-defense.
FACT: Barack Obama supports gun owner licensing and gun registration.
FACT: Barack Obama refused to sign a friend-of-the-court Brief in support of individual Second Amendment rights in the Heller case.
FACT: Barack Obama opposes Right to Carry laws.
FACT: Barack Obama was a member of the Board of Directors of the Joyce Foundation, the leading source of funds for anti-gun organizations and “research.”
FACT: Barack Obama supported a proposal to ban gun stores within 5 miles of a school or park, which would eliminate almost every gun store in America.
FACT: Barack Obama voted not to notify gun owners when the state of Illinois did records searches on them.
FACT: Barack Obama voted against a measure to lower the Firearms Owners Identification card age minimum from 21 to 18, a measure designed to assist young people in the military.
FACT: Barack Obama favors a ban on standard capacity magazines.
FACT: Barack Obama supports mandatory micro-stamping.
To that list I would add that Obama is opposed to self defense, and favors allowing cities to prosecute citizens for successfully defending themselves with a gun in their own home. Obama voted against S.B. 2165 (IL 2004) that was designed to protect citizens who rightfully defended themselves from unjust gun possession charges. The bill passed with overwhelming support. The Governor vetoed the bill, and the Illinois state legislature overrode the veto - despite Obama’s best efforts.

| What i can't understand is how people think that banning guns will solve anything. Do they honestly think that criminals will obey a law? You can ban the manufacture, sale, and ownership of guns. You can go door to door all over the country and confiscate every gun. And,24 hours after that, you can buy a gun on the street. The price will be higher, but they'll be available. A gun ban will work as well as prohibition did, or as well as the "war on drugs" is working. I won't even get into how easy it is to make a gun with materials commonly available at any hardware store. |

It will "help out the government". NAFTA was pretty easy to do but other thngs might cause some problems with those "nutcases" that talk about things like the constitution. |
