...and he said he'll hire Al Gore for a cabinet position in his administration----

= More votes for McCain.

[DMark]

SHOCKED!

Tell me it ain't so Barry (with the middle name we darn not say) Obama.

Just SHOCKED that a Dem would not trust armed citizens.

....and we're surprised?

But you can still hunt and shoot targets just like the 2nd Amendment gives you the right to do. (sarcastic, I mean that with sarcasm.)

Obama is a joke

Yes,a bad one with a dangerous punch line.

[DaveTN]

“I am not in favor of concealed weapons,” Obama told the Pittsburgh Tribune. “I think that creates a potential atmosphere where more innocent people could (get shot during) altercations.”

I think there is nothing wrong with a community saying we are going to take those illegal handguns off the streets.

While campaigning in Idaho in February, Obama promised, “I have no intention of taking away folks’ guns.”

Ban semi-automatics, and more possession restrictions

Principles that Obama supports on gun issues:

• Ban the sale or transfer of all forms of semi-automatic weapons.
  
• Increase state restrictions on the purchase and possession of firearms.
  
• Require manufacturers to provide child-safety locks with firearms.
  

I don’t agree with any of his views on firearms, but it really pizzes me off that he wants to dance around the issue. This man does not believe that you have a right to own arms but he is trying not to say that in case the SCOTUS rulings say you do. And he under no circumstances believes that you should be able to carry guns to protect yourself from the criminal thugs that will help him get elected.

The gang bangin’ thug kids of his Chicago constituents are the ones that will be pulling people from cars and putting a bullet in their head.

The gang bangin’ thug kids of his Chicago

I have read some considerable concerns about his gang affiliations. There have been many mainstream media news stories on gangs being in the Chicago PD and even gang members sitting on the Bench in the judicial system in Illinois. Makes me assume that they are in other places as well.

But this is not new news with Obaba coming out against concealed carry. He is alright with guns as long as he gets to pick and choose who has them, what they do with them and what types of guns they are. Just ask him, he is in favor of 2A. his wife even thinks it is ok if people in rural America have guns as they are so far away from where police are at.
