The NY Sun is back with a printer friendly version!!!

Obama voted "present" on gun control laws during his time in Springfield. There's no indication he has ever been a champion of the Second Amendment. No right thinking gun owner would consider him a friend.

[dashing doofus]

Obama lies just like a Klintoon.

[WayneS]

You mean he’s trying to “spin” his past positions so as to try to appear more “gun friendly”?

I’m shocked, SHOCKED I tell you!!!

Obama: “As a general principle, I believe that the Constitution confers an individual right to bear arms. But just because you have an individual right does not mean that the state and local government can’t constrain the exercise of that right.”

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

All I need to know about Barack Obama came out of his mouth this week;

"Just because you have a right does not mean that the government can't curtail it."

In my estimation, this not only makes him unfit for President of The United States, it makes him unfit to be a Cub Scout Pack Leader.

Send this ass packing please.

I suppose he didn't actually give these answers on the 2004 IVI-IPO questionaire either. He's not a very good liar, if he's nominated maybe the Clintons will tutor him.

IVI-IPO 2004 US SENATE QUESTIONNAIRE

35. Do you support legislation to ban the manufacture, sale and possession of

a. handguns?

While a complete ban on handguns is not politically practicable , I believe reasonable restrictions on the sale and possession of handguns are necessary to protect the public safety. In the Illinois Senate last year, I supported a package of bills to limit individual Illinoisans to purchasing one handgun a month; require all promoters and sellers at firearms shows to carry a state license; allow civil liability for death or injuries caused by handguns ; and require FOID applicants to apply in person. I would support similar efforts at the federal level , including retaining the Brady Law.

b. a ssault weapons?

Yes.

c. ammunition for handguns and assault weapons?

I would support banning the sale of ammunition for assault weapons and limiting the sale of ammunition for handguns .

It pisses me off everytime a campaign uses a “staffer” excuse to try to spin a canidate’s position 180 degrees for political expediency. Ron Paul did it, now Obama did it. Who are these canidates that they have no control over anything they’re quoted as saying? Of course they assume we’re too stupid to figure out the truth that they’re lying and don’t want to admit what they really stand for. That may be a safe assumption when it comes the democrat base, but we can only hope he can’t sell this lie to the general electorate. To Obama, if this was a staffer’s mistake, why didn’t you correct it until now? I think we all know the real answer to that one.

He announced the endorsement this week of the American Hunters and Shooters Association, a moderate gun rights organization, and at the debate he highlighted the "tradition of gun ownership that's passed on from generation to generation."

The NRA has long ago pegged the AHSA as a gun grabbing Trojan Horse organization and urged its members to have nothing to do with the AHSA. By bragging about its support, Obama's sending out a code that he's a full scale, virulent gun grabber.

"I would not characterize him as this big anti-gunner. He's not," Ms. Bishop said."

To her, the definition of a big anti-gunner is someone who not only wants to ban your handguns and semi auto rifles, but he also wants to go after your bolt and lever action rifles and shotguns.

It's always amused me that the same people that see abortion as a right in the 14th amendment cannot see the right of the people to keep and bear arms in the 2nd amendment. The only thing I can figure is that there is a different set of amendments to the constitution out there somewhere that I have never seen.

the GOP went from the stupid party to the Forest Gump party. stupid but lucky.
