Mr. Obama was out trying to tame the unwashed Bible thumpin' gun clingin' rednecks yesterday. First he said this:
“I believe in the Second Amendment, and if you are a law-abiding gun owner, you have nothing to fear from an Obama administration!”So far so good, but then the mask slipped:
He also keenly noted that even if he intended to take away guns, he would not have the power to do so as president. “I couldn’t get it done. I don’t have the votes in Congress.”Hmmm... If he believes in the second amendment, why would he even make such a statement?
You would never hear him say "Even if I wanted to take your free speech away I couldn't do it. I don't have the votes!" We all know that would be an absurd statement; just as absurd as his statement about voting to take our guns away.
Congress Cannot Vote Away Constitutional Rights!
For the record, here's a refresher, courtesy of Cornell University:
Amendment II: A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
Mr. Obama is a gungrabbing city slicker who has no concept of small-town and rural America. I think he would take our guns away if he had the votes. He said what he really though of us out in San Francisco while schmoozing his fellow effete liberal, wine and cheese, Volvo driving, arugula eating, oh-so-better-than-you-and-me snobs. That BS don't fly in the heartland.

What an amazing difference in the way Palin holds weapons naturally, the way real shooters do, as compared to the photos of Kerry from four years ago, clumsily holding a shotgun, as though it was a stick of dynamite.
Alaskans use guns so they can stay on top of the food chain. - Sarah Palin
I really hope she was using hearing protection when firing the shotgun.
Us with any degree of hearing loss do everything we can to try to retain ours.
Except when I blast music. ‘Cuz I like it loud sometimes.
Ahab the Arab can make all the talk that he wants to, but I can assure you that the heart land is not going to give up their guns or ammo.
Like the fellow from the South wrote, all it will do is contribute to the body count.
