The Obama campaign talks a lot about new ideas and expanding the political map, but in the swing state of Pennsylvania, which the campaign has focused on almost exclusively since the Democratic convention, old-school issues still rise to the fore.
The latest example came Friday during a small political event at SCHOTT North America Inc., a glass factory in Duryea, Pa., where even a hand-picked crowd threw Barack Obama a curve ball.
A woman in the crowd told Obama she had heard a rumor that he might be planning some sort of gun ban upon being elected president. Obama trotted out his standard policy stance, that he had a deep respect for the traditions of gun ownership but favored measures in big cities to keep guns out of the hands of gang bangers and drug dealers in big cities who already have them and are shooting people.

from article:
"If youve got a gun in your house, Im not taking it, Obama said. But the Illinois senator could still see skeptics in the crowd,..."Looks like people dont believe that the most liberal senator in the senate does not want to take our guns away.

How does anyone become as dumb as Obama? This guy needs to go back and pick up his certificate from pre school.
He is not ready for action, folks.

I don't think he's ever really seen the United States of America outside of Maui, South Chicago, and Washington DC. He's touring the USA like an American with only one week of vacation tours Europe: Well, here's Belgium! Look at all the flowers. Is that a, er ah, a germanaranium, or whatever they call it? Hell, I dunno. Back in the car kids! We're late for Portugal! You nailed it. The only versions of America Obama knows from personal experience are Harvard and the South Side of Chicago. Neither is really typical of the rest of the country. He's now playing catchup in all sorts of areas, but there's no substitute for having actually lived among the people and imbibed their view of reality.

So he tried again. Even if I want to take them away, I dont have the votes in Congress,Clearly he does not understand the true problem, which is the 2nd amendment is a fundamental right.
It offends me highly to think any POTUS, Congress critter or anyone else can take away that right.
I wonder if Obama would be concerned if the pedophile who lived down the street come over to let him and Michelle know, he is reformed and would never think of harming his children.
Some thing applies to reformed gun grabbers, they don't change their spots.
Once a political gun grabber always a gun grabber
he said. This cant be the reason not to vote for me.
It's quite humorous he thinks being suspect on gun control is the reason he can't get a vote and telling someone I'm only taking away your fundamental right from some of the people is O.K.

He won’t be banning guns as president if he does not get elected president.

The NRA is waiting for you to join instead of sitting on the sidelines like the 75 million gun owners who are always waiting for someone else to do something.

This is like Jack Nicholson in the Shining. He’s going to say anything to get Wendy to open that door. Then wham!
To: neverdem
He wants to and would, but there is that damned constitution thing in the way.
To: The KG9 Kid
Yes, his stunning ignorance of American geography tells me all I need to know. We don’t have 57 states, and hey Barack, it’s Mount Nittany, not Mount Nitaly.
I pray he’s soundly defeated, but I was surprised at how close the 2004 Presidential elections were.

He'll ban guns and drive taxes so high we won't be able to afford what is left. Ass clown. al-Mansoor's sock puppet. Daley's marionette. Daley owns him. He'll push the same gun control at the federal level that works so well in Chicago.
