I am not an unreasonable man.

For anyone that wants my guns, I am willing to trade them. Just be absolutely certain that you are willing to lose what I intend to take in the trade.

All trades are final.

“Even if I want to take them away, I don’t have the votes in Congress,’’ he said. “This can’t be the reason not to vote for me. Can everyone hear me in the back? I see a couple of sportsmen back there. I’m not going to take away your guns.’’

If someone says they're not going to hurt you, they're going to hurt you. If someone says, "It's not about the money", it's about the money. If someone says, "you can trust me", you can't. When Obama says he's not going to take away our guns, he's gonna do it.

"... “If you’ve got a gun in your house, I’m not taking it,’’ Obama said. But the Illinois senator could still see skeptics in the crowd, particularly on the faces of several men at the back of the room.

So he tried again. “Even if I want to take them away, I don’t have the votes in Congress,’’ he said. “This can’t be the reason not to vote for me. Can everyone hear me in the back? I see a couple of sportsmen back there. I’m not going to take away your guns.’’

Just amazing. "This CAN'T be the reason not to vote for me!"

Totally obtuse. I really thought he was smarter than this. 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!

I fear he'll win the Presidency, but I'm really starting to think he'll get his ass kicked worse than John Kerry in 2004.

Said he’s not going to take your guns away. Didn’t say he wouldn’t prevent you from buying any new ones though.

He specifically said he was going to take away AK-47s in his speech in Denver....it sounded ad libbed to me, because it didnt fit into anything else he was talking about at the time.

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.”

How about executing them or sending them back to Mexico.

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.

So he tried again. “Even if I want to take them away, I don’t 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 can’t 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.
