The Gadfly On Obama's Case
President-elect Obama wants us to take him at his word that he's a supporter of the 2nd Amendment. He said that during a weekend television appearance when questioned about the huge rise in gun sales since his election.
Obama says he believes in what he calls common-sense gun safety laws.
Let's see...his idea of those gun safety laws includes, based on his voting record in Illinois and Washington, bans on guns themselves, ammunition, gun shows, self defense in the home...and he supported an increase of 500 percent in the federal excise tax on every firearm sold. He supported legislation that would punish the firearms manufacturing industry.
All of this from a man who now says that lawful gun owners have nothing to fear.
What the president-elect apparently does not understand, or choses to ignore, is that ANY gun control measure is an attack on the 2nd Amendment.
What the president-elect ignores is that his association with the nation's top gun-grabbers like George Soros and others of his ilk tells us far more about him than do his words.
What the president-elect fails to grasp is that we consider this a fight over the future of this nation. The 2nd Amendment makes possible the freedom we share.
Barack Obama wants us to take him at his word. We'll see how much his words are worth in the months to come. ~ Mike McCarville
