OBAMA IS ANTI SECOND AMENDMENT

October 20th, 2008

Obama is anti Second Amendment, he does NOT believe in your right to protect yourself. He is the biggest gun control supporter on the left and all you have to do is look at his voting record. You have to pay close attention to what he says when he is challenged about his position and your Second Amendment rights. Where he has voted:

• Voted NO on prohibiting lawsuits against gun manufacturers. (Jul 2005)
• Several Illinois state legislators introduced SB 2165 to protect the right of self-defense for residents (2003). True to form, Obama voted against the pro-gun legislation
• On January 18, 2007, Senator Obama voted against a pro-gun amendment to strike language in S. 1 that would infringe upon the free speech rights of groups like Gun Owners of America. The amendment, which passed, struck requirements that would have required GOA to monitor and report on its communications with its members, and could easily have led to government demands for GOA’s membership list (a.k.a. registration).

What he says:

· Ok for states & cities to determine local gun laws. (Apr 2008)

· FactCheck: Yes, Obama endorsed Illinois handgun ban. (Apr 2008)

· Respect 2nd Amendment, but local gun bans ok. (Feb 2008)

· The concealed carry of firearms is another important issue for gun owners, and yet Obama is not only opposed to citizens carrying guns, he supports using federal laws to override those states which currently allow the practice.

The third bullet is really illustrative of a contradiction in the same sentence and complete ignorance of the U.S. Constitution and the Second amendment. You cannot respect the 2^nd Amendment and at the same time support local gun bans. Local gun bans DO NOT supersede the U.S. Constitution unless you don’t believe in the U.S. Constitution. Listen to what he says, he has NEVER once said he believes or supports the 2^nd Amendment. Using the word respect is a way to avoid being nailed on the position.
