Obama on guns
He’s for gun rights when when running for national office. That statement goes against everything in his record.
He says: I think there is an individual right to bear arms, but it’s subject to commonsense regulation
He has, of course, never seen a regulation he did not support. Per Obama, the total ban in DC is constitutional. And, I guess, reasonable.
And he was a board member of the anti-gun Joyce Foundation, the entity that pays for all the anti-gun astro-turf.

Apparently, Obama not only thinks the D.C. gun ban is reasonable, he thinks it’s “common sense.”
Common sense not having to slam your hand in the car door to know it hurts. An outright ban on a piece of metal isn’t common sense. It’s fear.
And there’s a big difference between feeling unafraid and actually being safe.

Yes, of course. Reasonable gun control, commonsense laws.
I’m sure he wants to chaaange gun laws. I’m sure he wants to unite us. Bring us to the future. If, y’know, we agree with his damn-near-communist beliefs. And hand over our guns. And most of our money.
Obama is an empty suit with big ears.

Obama is willing to let the UN do the heavy lifting. The Global Poverty Act (S.2433) which he is sponsoring would have the US aquiece on the UN’s outlawing all small arms.

No he’s not, it’s just that whoever writes the headlines for the Ass. Press can’t find his Ass. with both hands, a flashlight and an Ass. map combined. Read the whole article about Obama’s supposed support for individual gun rights, and you’ll find him reiterating his support for DC’s “gun safety” law.

Obama recently boasted, “I now have Secrete Service protection…” so if he wants to restrict my RIGHT TO CHOOSE my armed protection, then why doesn’t he lead by example and give up his hired guns??? Or at least have them abide by the same unconstitutional laws of evil citizen disarmament he wants to impose on us!!!
Change??? No way, he’s pushing the same old tyranny.
