Calm down, you dumb cousin-humping rednecks
That seems to be the gist of the Heller spin for Obama. Articles keep popping up with that theme, like this one:
Did Obama Dodge a Bullet on Gun Control?
What were the candidates’ reactions to yesterday’s landmark decision on gun rights by the Supreme Court? John McCain supported it, and Barack Obama … kind of supported it. There’s a paper trail suggesting Obama was for the D.C. ban, but yesterday he claimed to have “always believed that the Second Amendment protects the right of individuals to bear arms” — while also seeing the need for “common-sense, effective safety measures” to protect “crime-ravaged communities.”
No. He did not. See, he thought that his alleged belief in an individual right to arms was perfectly consistent with banning handguns in DC. He supports and has supported all manner of gun control. This spin that the issue is now off the table is ridiculous on its face to anyone paying attention.
