It amazes me that this entire presidential race has more about who has the deepest pockets and who has the media salivating? It is not about the issues, the economy, the country… it has been nothing more than a celebrity love fest!

Lets step aside from that.. lets look at one of the key points that could impact our country in a very negative way if Obama wins…

A reminder of stupid statements Obama has made.. Hey PA remember this one! ok?

"they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

Election day is closing in on us.. we need to remember where Obama REALLY stands! He does NOT stand for our country! He values back socialism & criminals!

On guns alone he is a scary individual! From one side of his mouth he supports hunters.. but wants to ban the guns they use to hunt with! He says he believes in “common sense”gun laws, but there is NO common sense to them.. he is against conceal and carry, he is against cheap guns..  people who need/want to protect themselves are going to opt for a cheap conceal & carry… Obama will make that NOT happen!

Here are some highlights of where Obama stands..(several of these gems are the same items.. but they need to be said.. again, again and again… since the media loves to look away from ALL of Obama’s flaws!) it has been stated he is consistent where he stands on guns.. so here is a refresher on where he stands…

About GunBaNObama.com

Barack Obama would be the most anti-gun president in American history.  Senator Obama says “words matter.”  But when it comes to your Second Amendment rights, he refuses to speak honestly about where he stands.  In fact, Obama hides behind carefully chosen words and vague statements of support for sportsmen and gun rights to sidestep and camouflage the truth.

But even he can’t hide from the truth forever … his voting record, political associations, and long standing positions make it clear that, if elected, Barack Obama would be the most anti-gun president in American history.

GunBaNObama.com is designed to bring you the truth about Barack Obama’s words – words like these:

• “Do you support state legislation to …  ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns? Yes.”  (Independent Voters of Illinois/Independent Precinct Organization general candidate questionnaire, Sept. 9, 1996 
• “I’m consistently on record and will continue to be on record as opposing concealed carry.”  (Chicago Tribune, April 27, 2004)
• “I believe in keeping guns out of our inner cities and that our leaders must say so in the face of the gun manufacturers lobby.”  Barack Obama, The Audacity of Hope (2006).

And GunBaNObama.com will also bring you Obama’s deeds:

• Obama voted to ban almost all rifle ammunition commonly used for hunting and sports shooting.  (United States Senate, vote no. 217, S. 397, July 29, 2005)
• Obama voted to uphold local gun bans and the criminal prosecution of people who use firearms in self-defense.  (Illinois Senate, SB 2165, vote 20, March 25, 2004)
• In his only two votes on confirming Supreme Court nominees, Obama voted against two of the five justices (Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito) who later affirmed an individual right to keep and bear arms in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller.

Concealed Carry

"…I am consistently on record and will continue to be on record as opposing concealed carry," Obama said. Chicago Tribune, April 27, 2004

Ammunition Restrictions — "micro-stamping"

"There was a discussion today about a law that has just passed in California that allows micro-tracing of bullets that have been discharged in a crime so that they can immediately be traced," he said. "This is something that California has passed over the strong objections of the NRA…That’s the kind of common sense gun law that gun owners as well as victims of gun violence can get behind." Barack Obama, Feb. 15, 2008 Baltimore Sun.com Feb. 15, 2008

Local Gun Bans

"I think that local jurisdictions have the capacity to institute their own gun laws…The City of Chicago has gun laws, as does Washington, D.C.," he said. Barack Obama, Feb. 15, 2008 Baltimore Sun.com

Licensing and Registering gun owners

Q: When you were in the state senate, you talked about licensing and registering gun owners. Would you do that as president?

A: I don’t think that we can get that done.

2008 Democratic debate in Las Vegas Jan 15, 2008

plus on our local newspaper there was a nice article written about (anti) gun Obama…

Brilliantly, Democrats have kept the issue of guns out of the presidential campaign. Guns have barely been mentioned, with the exception of Barack Obama’s gaffe about rubes clinging to Bibles and guns, his cautious support of the Supreme Court’s Heller decision, and pop culture references to GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin killing moose.

Democrats have long been on the losing end of the gun-rights debate, which has cost them countless elections.

Quietly, on Oct. 13, The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence – one of the most radical gun control organization in the United States – endorsed Obama. It’s an endorsement Obama hasn’t flaunted on his campaign stumps, but it’s one that should concern Second Amendment defenders.

Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign, said the organization endorsed Obama because he knows the benefits of "strengthening our Brady background check system, getting military-style assault weapons off our streets, and giving law enforcement more tools to stop the trafficking of illegal guns."

In other words, the Brady Campaign has researched the candidates and come to the conclusion that Obama might fight for gun control.

oh he’ll do more than Might and Fight for Gun CONTROL, if he has his way I am sure he would even eliminate pictures of them!

They use fancy phrasing, such as ridding the streets of "military-style assault weapons." What they really want, however, is to cause trouble for law-abiding citizens who wish to keep handy the guns they find necessary for hunting and security.

If Obama and Joe Biden will help get assault weapons off our streets, then Obama and Biden support ordinary gun control. We had a so-called assault weapons ban from 1994 to 2004, and it was ordinary gun control. The Department of Justice found it did little or nothing to reduce violent crime in this country.

Yes.. that is right a GUN BAN will do NOTHING to reduce violent crime. Seriously any moron could figure that out! When a criminal wants to use a weapon to commit a crime.. do they follow LEGAL policies and procedures to acquire it? Do I even need to bother going into that question further??

Genuine assault rifles are machine guns, which rapid-fire multiple rounds with one pull of the trigger. That’s what gun banners want the general public to visualize when they talk about banning assault rifles. They want us to imagine some monstrous gang leader spraying bullets in all directions at the police and innocent bystanders.

But genuine assault rifles, as in machine guns, were essentially banned by the 1934 National Firearms Act. Possessing one lawfully means buying a license and spending thousands on a firearm. Few people own them, and they are not the subject of the so-called assault weapons ban we already tried, and are considering again.

The modern gun banner has taken to classifying common semi-automatic rifles, such as the civilian models of the AR-15 or the AK-47, as "assault rifles." They are ordinary rifles that shoot one bullet for each pull of the trigger. They are commonly owned by hunters, collectors and people who care about home safety.

Ironically, the ban of these so-called assault weapons in 1994 left far more powerful weapons in play – weapons capable of far greater destruction, such as the common .30-06 hunting rifle. All it did was ban rifles of a certain class simply because they look more dangerous and therefore could be confused with something needlessly menacing to society.

If looks could kill (the world be far less populated).. alas.. the gun control freaks ban guns because they LOOK dangerous.. I think I will get something that actually packs a punch and paint it pink with flowers.. they will surely allow that right? (note: sarcasm).

Those who would take our Second Amendment gun rights know that most Americans don’t support their agenda. So they seek to get the camel’s nose under the tent with small victories won through deception – such as so-called assault weapons bans. They must deceive to achieve.

After the Heller decision, which struck down the District of Columbia’s gun ban, Obama issued a benign statement: "I have always believed that the Second Amendment protects the right of individuals to bear arms, but I also identify with the need for crime-ravaged communities to save their children from the violence that plagues our streets through common-sense, effective safety measures." It went on to explain that he favors measures to keep guns out of the hands of terrorists and criminals. Who could argue with that?

I am going to repeat again.. Criminals will get whatever weapon they want.. the more deadly the better.. they don’t need laws … if they want it they will get it.. heck their intention is also not a lawful one.. they want to commit crimes with their illegally obtained weapons. So what common sense is Obama talking about.. apparently he has no common sense what-so-ever! Obviously crime ravaged areas like DC need guns given to law abiding citizens to protect themselves from the criminal elements that infect their city!

His harmless statement couldn’t possibly have been enough to please the Brady Campaign. So what does this organization like about Obama?

In his book "The Heller Case: Gun Rights Affirmed," author Alan Korwin documents that Obama swiftly reversed his position on gun rights the moment the high court ruled that gun rights belong to individuals.

"Before the ban was overturned, Mr. Obama supported the position of the Court’s dissenters – that gun bans are fine and the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights does not protect people, it protects ‘collective rights’ of states," Korwin wrote. The court equated the "collective rights" theory to Alice in Wonderland. The book details how Obama’s voting record on gun rights is 100 percent consistent; he favored every gun restriction that came along in the Illinois Senate.

Second Amendment defenders should ask Obama to come clean on his true agenda pertaining to gun rights (he’s in Colorado on Sunday). Gun rights advocates should keep in mind that Heller was a 5-4 decision, and Obama would likely appoint one, if not two or three, Supreme Court justices.

Americans are well within their rights to elect a president who would work to ban guns, and erode gun rights. But they shouldn’t do so by accident. They should vote only with full knowledge of Obama’s position on guns, and to date that remains unclear.

Like I said that was a nice article.. he was much nicer than I would be about Obama and his ability to do political shape-shifting.. he has clear decisions on guns, shown by the votes he actually has made (and that says allot since he opts to vote “present” than actually take a stand on the majority of issues).. so he is definitely against guns.. and obviously for ALL the wrong reasons.. he obviously wants to take guns from honest law abiding citizens .. this would allow a more ample supply for criminals.. SIGH!

The comments are also interesting on this article.. I love this one..

With Obama as the driver, we stand to arrive at a Gulag, where we will all become slaves to the Socialist state he has in mind

Why has he gotten this far? How did he get this far? I am just hoping the actual election results put him where he belongs.. which is NOT the white house! He is an embarrassment, he is un-American, he would be the worst mistake we could ever make as a country!
