Address Gun Violence in Cities: As president, Barack Obama would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals who shouldn’t have them. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets.
I’m not saying they’re not going to grab guns, but if he can go after ammo right now through EO or regulation, then why would he churn up a big second amendment fight? Once the ammo’s restricted, it will be much easier to go after the guns. Here’s the angle BO will use, I have no doubt...and this will be his argument: there is no literal right to ammo, only arms. No matter that it violates not only the SA itself, but the spirit as well. Anyone who can interpret the SA as meaning a “well regulated militia” as the National Guard can certainly rationalize that ammo isn’t covered under the SA.
