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.

If I was one of those two guys, I'd have said, "You're G-D right that you're not taking away my guns, not while I can breathe." YES, I would absolutely say that to the sob.
Also, if someone called me a "sportsman" in that context I'd slug them - too bad that the fellows in the dark suits and sunglasses would stop me in this case. Of course, the only way I'd ever be that close to this statist, anti-gun, anti-American prick would be through sheer accident.
Obama will move on ammo if given the chance.
He didn’t specify though that he might try to take them away.
That's what his 'brown shirts' national police force will be for.
I cannot wait until he gets hammered on this. Bwahahahahahaha!
WRONG! He'll start at 10,000. Otherwise a certain former mayor of a small town in Alaska might REALLY come after him!
Owussy won’t go to your home to take your guns away. It’s not his style. He’ll send someone else to do it.
Even if I want to take them away, I dont have the votes in Congress, he said.
A Dem controlled congress with Pelosi at the helm? hmmmmm
This cant be the reason not to vote for me.”
Oh yes it can....I can’t think of any better reason not to vote for you Obama.
“Can everyone hear me in the back? I see a couple of sportsmen back there. Im not going to take away your guns.
Of course not, you are just going to lock them all up at a local club and let us have them for our sporting activities, sort of like they do in England. But, it will only apply to shotguns, and no semi-autos of any kind.
And who said Marxists aren’t exceptional liars?
COUNTRY FIRST
"I did not have sec with that woman!"
"The check is in the mail."
That’s so nice of him.
Pure BULLSH!T...plain and simple. If you tell a lie often enough, some fools will begin to believe it!!!
He doesn’t have to take them away. He just has to get Congress to slap a tax of $1000 on each box of ammunition. That will effectively kill the 2nd Amendment.
And don’t think for a minute that he wouldn’t try this if he thought it had a chance of success.
I’d like to see him try ....
I wonder if Obama formulated his 2nd Amendment strategy during his days as a “community organizer”.
The Obamalogo on a brown shirt.
The guy is a down-the-line leftist. Nullification of the Second Amendment is a standard leftist policy from which they have never backed down. Once in office with a rat majority in the House and a filibuster-proof majority in the senate this guy will reduce the Second Amendment to a fond memory - or start a rebellion trying.
