Obama says he won’t take folks’ guns away…

“Gun Control: Barack Obama says he won’t take folks’ guns away as long as they’re hunters. But when the hunted are his constituents, well, that’s different: He opposes concealed carry and the right to self-defense. There’s something about an election that brings out the sportsman in a Democratic presidential candidate. Recall John Kerry’s sudden fondness for hunting four years ago. And speaking in Idaho earlier this year, Barack Obama told the crowd, ‘We got a lot of hunters in the state of Illinois, and I have no intention of taking away folks’ guns.’ Except he does. In a 1996 questionnaire, Obama wrote that he ‘supported banning the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns.’ He says now that the survey was filled out by an aide who misrepresented his views. Yet his record since then is consistent with that view. Never mind that Illinois and the other 49 states have a lot of two-legged predators... On the subject of the total ban on gun ownership in the District of Columbia, a Second Amendment case before the U.S. Supreme Court, the Nov. 23 Chicago Tribune said Obama believes in the right of local communities to enact common sense laws to combat violence and save lives. Obama believes the D.C. handgun law is constitutional... Obama’s Web site says: ‘He will protect the rights of hunters and other law-abiding Americans to purchase, own, transport and use guns for the purposes of hunting and target shooting’... Not, apparently, for you to protect your wife and children.” —Investor’s Business Daily

“I say that the Second Amendment is, in order of importance, the first amendment. It is America’s First Freedom, the one right that protects all the others.” —Charlton Heston
