Obama and gun control
Know what your candidate is going to push for once in office, I firmly believe. For those folks out there who are considering Obama as their candidate and who are also law-abiding gun owners, there’s some things you should know.
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 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 requiring law-abiding gun owners to register their firearms.
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 wants to eliminate your Right to Carry.
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.
FACT: Barack Obama supports mandatory waiting periods.
FACT: Barack Obama supports repeal of the Tiahrt Amendment, which prohibits information on gun traces collected by the BATFE from being used in reckless lawsuits against firearm dealers and manufacturers.
FACT: Barack Obama supports “one-gun-a-month” sales restrictions.
FACT: Barack Obama supports a ban on inexpensive handguns.
FACT: Barack Obama supports a ban on the resale of police issued firearms, even if the money is going to police departments for replacement equipment.
FACT: Barack Obama supports mandatory firearm training requirements for all gun owners and a ban on gun ownership for persons under the age of 21.
Now, these items are not interpretation nor are they opinion. These are documented actions and positions taken by Obama in the course of his legislative career. He’s advocating some serious curtailment of a Constitutionally-protected right of yours. Which others is he going to come after if elected to office? Think about it now, please.

Although I don’t own a gun myself, I don’t feel as if I have the right, or the need to tell other responsible, law abiding adults that they can’t own guns. I do have quite a few family memebers and friend who are gun owners.
However, I have always wondered something and maybe someone can help me with this.
Why not register guns? I’ve never understood the resistance to this.
Law abiding, responsible people have to register cars, so why not guns.
Not spoiling for an argument here, just never understood this.
“A system of licensing and registration, is the perfect device to deny gun ownership to the bourgeoisie.”
- Vladimir Lenin, “The Beginning of the Revolution in Russia”, Selected Works, Vol. I, International Publishers, New York, 1967.
When will the blog come out about all of the “Constitutionally-protected right[s] of [mine]” that John McCain has also supported to take away?
I’ll have a post of later tonight on my blog that will highlight just a few of McCain’s votes to take away my God-given rights — including multiple infringements on my right to keep and bear arms.
Oh wait, I forgot. John McCain has an “R” by his name so he is excused.
Hey, oldright, go ahead and tee it up. Which of your Constitutionally-protected rights is McCain trying to take away? (Look hard on this blog right here and you’ll find my none-too-happy with McCain posted in clear language.)
The issue isn’t a matter of if he’s better or worse than this or that other Republican. He’s the nominee for the GOP for the Presidency. The only issue now is whether he’s better or worse than Obama. How about it? Is he better or worse in your eyes?
Not Jeff W., I tried to reply to your comments in e-mail and never looked far enough to see whether a valid address was even listed! I wanted to let you know that I haven’t forgotten your question, I’m just giving it the attention it deserves. I hope to have a post on it in a day or so. Thanks!
[...] Lance, let me clue you in on who might be promoting that concept, OK? How about we look at the record he’s amassed on pushing gun control: FACT: Barack Obama voted to allow reckless lawsuits [...]
