What people are saying, pre-election mumbo-jumbo, is that he has not proposed any major anti-gun legislation.
But when he is a lame duck president, that will all change I'm sure. Odd that people don't note that, huh?
Nobody says he's a pro-gun politician; not at all. Just that he is hands-off now.
Hopefully the senate goes republican & that will kill or minimize any anti-gun legislation.
Obama needs a liberal court even if he is reelected.
It's funny, this topic comes up every few months. Some person states that there are individuals who are arguing that President Obama ain't for gun control. I have yet to run into an individual, on this forum, hell, on any forum I've been too, that argues President Obama is not anti-gun.
Yea, its as funny as saying that Romney didn't support gun control measures that Obamalama would love to pass nationally.
It's OK if Romney signed an AWB, but it's not OK that Obama has stated that he wouldn't sign an AWB. Classic ODS.
Who says Romney ain't for gun control?
President Obama has not hidden his own thoughts that gun violence is a problem. (Firearms kill approximately the same number of people in the US as cars do.) BUT he has repeatedly said that it is not a power the federal government has (he is a constitutional scholar, and believes that gun control falls to the states or the People, not the Feds.)
I do not expect this to be a factor during or after the election anywhere outside NYC. After all, the twelve killed in Aurora do not represent the problem we have with gun crime. It is the 50 people killed with guns every day by common criminals. (yes, I said 50 a day, but the total is about 100 a day if you include suicides.). In a country of 300 million people and over 100 million guns, it's a relatively small number.
Here's some facts to chew on.
Obama is the son of Marxists , the grandson of Marxists, was mentored by a Marxist, launched his presidential campaign in the home of a Marxist/terrorist who wrote his first autobiography, has staffed the Whitehouse with Marxists, and unsurprisingly is behaving in office like a Marxist.
Romney is the ONLY other choice.
You forgot "secret mooslim". ODS much? And you are going to vote for a man who prays to the god Elohim on the planet Kolob who beamed down to earth to have sex with Mary to create Jesus! Good choice!
nothing else would have stopped this guy, except an outright ban.
From what I've gathered from press releases, an "outright ban" of guns probably would have resulted in a higher death toll. Let's say our dropout honor student with an obvious knack for chemistry (as evident from his rigged apartment), was banned from owning/purchasing/finding on the black-market a firearm, what kind of ban do you suppose would have stopped him from taking those same explosives from his apartment to the theater? Do you propose an outright chemical ban and outright firearms ban would have prevented this lunatic from mass murder? He was determined to kill--plain and simple, and no laws were going to get in his way.
Oh those crazy bitter-clingers, buying guns and ammo.You forgot "secret mooslim". ODS much? And you are going to vote for a man who prays to the god Elohim on the planet Kolob who beamed down to earth to have sex with Mary to create Jesus! Good choice!
