The tax payers will pay for the bail out no matter who wins. Obama is full of BS, he's just telling people what they want to hear.
Are you Middle Class? If so, do you think it's fair that the middle class pay almost twice the percentage rate of taxes than millionaires pay? If millionaire CEOs' reckless behavior is why we had to bail them out do you really think they should pay half the cost of that than you pay? If you think those CEOs should pay half what you do towards repaying that bail out then you should vote for McCain. But if you think the CEOs should pay the same percentage of taxes that you pay then you should vote for Obama. Seriously...look into the tax rates and then look at both candidates' tax plans.
Even if they banned guns tomorrow (which will never happen), are they going to go door to door and collect them?
The sky is falling the sky is falling!!! I own guns and the NRA has been making the same claims for YEARS now!!!
Though I believe Obama will ban assault rifles, bayonet lugs, and high-cap mags, I agree with you that gun confiscation in the US would prove impossible.
I'd bet 1 in 5 would go down with a fight, so they'd have to approach every single gun owning house n America with a SWAT team. That would cost a little more than anyone can afford right now.
Even if he wanted to, the recent SCOTUS decision on the DC handgun law extends to the whole country and no president could snap his fingers and overturn it any more than they could with Roe v. Wade.

Basically, a lot of people's brains would get splattered.
Hear what one of the richest men in the world have to say about how he pays 17% in taxes while his cleaning lady and secretary have to pay 30% in taxes. Can someone please riddle me why that is okay?

And in case YOU know it or not your right has been eroded bit, by bit, by bit over the years. Your friend Bubba deeply curtailed the activities of the Civilian Marksmanship Program along with importing evillllllll gus like the Norinco SKS which doesn't even approach looking like an assault weapon.
"Barack Obama believes the Second Amendment creates an individual right, and he respects the constitutional rights of Americans to bear arms. He will protect the rights of hunters and other law-abiding Americans to purchase, own, transport, and use guns." - factcheck.org

Until martial law is declared, which the president can do at any time, for anything he see's fit......then it will be more than just the SWAT team coming to visit you, to take your gun.....

but it is a fact the Dems have tried consistently for several decades to ban them things. Washington DC, Morton Grove. THE AW Ban. Dont be so quick to popo the idea that they the liberal dems wont go after the guns again.
And dont be so sure they wont try door to door.........
Logistically anything is possible. And dont also forget there is a lrge portion of the population, your peers, who dont think you should have a gun and they wont have a problem snitching YOU off for some one to come get your gun.
Just dont rule out what has proven a decades long effort. DO remember this goes back to the 1968 gun control act.
Boy am I gonna get flamed now.............go ahead, give it your best shot spunky
