"Even President Obama seemed relatively open to Second Amendment rights, saying on the campaign trail: “I believe there is a Second Amendment right. I think it is an individual right. I think people have the right to lawfully bear arms.”

The thing to which we must pay attention is the context in which Obama places our unalienable right to keep and bear arms: within the context of law, his laws, and those of the states that try to supersede the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution. They try to assert that man-made laws trump the unalienable right we have to be secure in our persons and property. They assert that government is giving that right within the context of government's laws, rather than being innate to our persons. The thinking is to cow people into believing that our rights come from government and, hence, are privileges bestowed by government, rather than unalienable rights that exist independent of the state. Whatever government gives, government can take away. It was a cleverly worded phrase, but deceptive and false.

Exactly. He does it often and thinks he is so brilliant that noboby knows when he does it. If you pay attention to the phrases he uses, they always have a double meaning. Pick the worst possible one for America and that is what he always means, not the obvious meaning but exactly the opposite. He hates us, and it shows. We are at war. We are the enemy.
