I'll avoid Godwin's law and put it like this.....
This election is akin to having a choice of turd soup or a sh!t sandwich....either choice will taste pretty much the same in the end.

Refer to the other 50 damn threads on the same topic.
And, perhaps Obama is looking for the same immunity for his record on guns as McCain is receiving from the NRA? Or not, but it's worth consideration...
On a final note...

Hey guys lets have some constructive On Topic stuff, please. Bashing members because you don't agree with them doesn't reflect well on yourselves or your candidates.
Back on topic, it really does seem like the Obama campaign is going pretty hard against the NRA messages, more than I've seen them do against anything else.

I wish the topic had come up in the debate last night!. I think Palin could have scored some points last night. But, the questioner was not going to bring up a topic that might hurt the "age of obama"
Piss on the gun grabbers.....Obama and Biden.

So similarly, if a candidate agrees with me, and supports abortion rights, gay marriage, and foetal stem cell research, I shouldn't allow his support for de jure racial segregationin public accomodations to stop me from voting for him? I mean, THAT would make me a "single issue voter"...

On Second Amendment enforcement: OBAMA wins.
On AWB: MCCAIN wins, but matters less.
On UN: MCCAIN wins, but matters less.
On "gun show loopholes": tie
On "armor piercing" ammo: tie
On trigger locks: tie
On conservationissues: OBAMA wins.
The point: this is a much more complex picture than what some believe.

The broader point is that we have been asked by the ownership of the forum to mostly restrict our discussions to 2A related matters. The issue of McCain v Obama is indeed very complex and goes far beyond 2A matters. For example, as a small business owner who has studied both candidate's tax plans and been involved in numerous discussions and a conferences with those much more knowledgeable than me about the issue, I could write pages on why I believe that Obama, if he got everything he wanted from a dem congress, would very likely lead us into an economic downfall that would make the Great Depression look less significant than the NASDAQ crash in comparison. But such matters, while extraordinarily important, are beyond the venue of this forum.

Hmm... sounds like he's against the 1st Amendment too.
Silly me, he's not against it, he's just for Liberal free speech.

There's no such thing as "de jure" racial segration, so I miss your point. And if it means one issue can override agreement in 99, then you 'd be an idiot. What some of the crypto-literate posters can't seem to understand is that democracy is compromise. Call it lesser of evils, or closer to the mark. You vote for whomever is best for you. No one is perfect. Obooba comes pretty close to perfection in being a ******* asshole, however. Hope that isn't too partisan for a certain halfwit on the thread.

I think that NRA's selling out its membership on conservation issues is quite to the point because hunting is one of the reasons why many are interested in firearms, even though hunting might not be the predominant concern of this forum.
Conservation seems as pertinent -- certainly -- as armor piercing ammo -- to issues under discussionin this community.

Judges that Obama wouldappoint are likely to be much more friendly to civil enforcement of 2A because:
* they will tend to support incorporation into the 14th Amendment of newly recognized rights under 2A
* they will tend to look at qualified immunity more skeptically
* they may go for a more restrictive view of the 11th Amendment
* they will try to reach substantive claims in the face of procedural challenges like mootness and lack of standing.
Obama is not pushing for a federal ban now. If you are trying to nailthe candidateson history, McCain doesn't fare very well either.

There's no reason why a candidate couldn't want to REINSTATE racial segregation. To hear the Obama supporters tell it, I shouldn't let that ONE thing keep me from voting for that candidate... unless the ONLY issue that I can't be a one issue voter on is repressive gun controls.
Obama is HORRIFICALLY anti-gun. We're winning the gun control battle. Why on earth vote for the man who is to gun control what Lester Maddox was to segregation?

Obama supported the DC handgun ban. He STILL supports the Chicago handgun ban.
You actually expect me to believe that the guy who thinks nobody has the RIGHT to own a handgun, is going to nominate Supreme Court justices who believe in the 2nd Amendment AND incorporation MORE than HE does???
Everybody who has those NRA Obama cards, you had BETTER give them out where they'll do the most good. Almost nobody has heard of AHSA, but we still need to make sure that people are inoculated against their assinine lies.
