So I emailed Barack obama....

[Kaos]

And I asked him his stance on the second amendment...

His response and my retort

I'm sorry that you feel that way. Our rights as americans to own firearms are not for hunting. The second amendment was put in place by the framers so that the people would forever control the country and they would be citizens and not subjects.

Any gun law is unconstitutional. Period.

Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin...the list goes on knew that this is essential, which is why it's only second to the freedom to practice any religion and to speak your mind freely.

Unless your stance on respecting the constitution changes I cannot support you on the 22nd in PA.

Dear Friend,

Thank you for contacting me about gun laws and the Second Amendment. I
appreciate hearing from you on this important issue. Americans broadly
agree that guns must be kept from those who may pose a threat, and that the
rights of legitimate hunters and sportsmen should be protected.

We must work to ensure that guns do not fall into the hands of criminals or
the mentally ill through an effective background check system. We also have
to strike a reasonable balance between public safety and sportsmen's rights.

I will continue to work for effective gun laws, including reinstatement of
the assault weapons ban that the last Congress allowed to expire, and
effective law enforcement. I will also speak out against the culture of
violence that traps so many of our young people.

Thank you again for contacting me on this important issue.


Sincerely,

Barack Obama

The saddest part of this is not that Obama is anti-gun, but that people who supposedly believe in things such as the 2nd amendment and own guns themselves will vote for Obama.

Worst ever.

The sad truth, there......



and yes I am playing with multi quote

[pred]

It seems as though anything what had a detachable mag they concider dangerous, Or anything shot gun with a pistol grip,
The potential is California on the east coast, Keep reading, and join the NRA if you havent already, These things help!
They even want to ban the M1, It didnt say if it was the Garand or Carbine,
If you ask me, It seems like most shootings are people involved with drugs shooting others involved with drugs,
If you got rid of crack/herion/coke, I think you would see the REAL drop in gun violence!!!
The funny thing is
If a perp is arrested for dealing a small amt of drugs, The polics dont get a warrent to search the house for more, Even though when the perp gets arrested for drugs, He can no longer own firearms, Well or drugs,,,
It is unconstitutional for the poice to seize any firearms for the small busts, and those are the guys that are shooting eachother!
Peter.
Also, Great to see someone emailing Obama, I will do the same later today, And I think that everyone who reads this thread should also!!!!

[SteveXD]

He mixed up a wicked cool batch of koolaid and people are just drinking it up... I think we are going to be in for a rough 4 yrs...

I hope after 4 yrs he will be prove just how full of shit he is!

VERY well-put. I am not a fan of his, but at least we all know where Obama stands. He is not trying to pull a John Kerry and pretend like he is a gun guy.

It is sad that many gun owners will vote for him. I would ask why that is.

So basically I'm going to be following Kurt Cobain's advice

Im still loading up on guns either way.

My guess is you'll want to buy a little pile of self defense ammo as well..."evil cop killers"

[awkx]

I will continue to work for effective gun laws, including
reinstatement of the assault weapons ban ...

That's a deal-breaker for me. Might even make me vote for McCain instead of for the Libertarian candidate in November.

I guess i'm going to have to get a hunting license otherwise my rights won't be protected.

What a boob!

It saddens me that some people in this country would even consider this asshole as a presidential candidate.

It frightens me that this asshole might actually have a shot.
