The issue is not what he has done as the topic indicates, it's what e might do if re-elcted. I'll tell you flat out he can't win this election if he he had pushed for the restrictions he supports. I know my own state of PA....... loss for anti gun advocate.

Again, this is the most asinine argument I've seen today, and thats saying something.

What he might do tomorrow? You've got to be kidding me.

Excuse me? You're not concerned about what a politician might do once elected especially when that politician has no concerns about a reelection bid in the future?

That has got to be the most asinine argument of all time.

I believe President Obama knows and understands the Constitution better than most. I do not expect him to let the gun grabbers ignore the 2nd Amendment any more than he would allow any of the other parts of the Constitution to be ignored.

An Obama re-election means the end of the entire US Constitution and our country as we know it. Heck, it is already nearly destroyed with the Patriot Act and the NDAA already.

Obama & Co. are moving to the United Nation's global declarations on what define human rights and away from not only the US Constitution but the USA as a sovereign nation.

Ryan has a plan to do away with medicare. I would love to know what Romney or Obama's economic plan is to know what they are going to do when they are President.

But the President hasn't announced, hasn't done, and hasn't even threatened to take away guns while holding national office.

Again, there is a difference between state law, and federal law.

If you go back to his statements on the DC decision it's clear he doesn't support that SCOTUS decision so he does in fact support the restriction of gun ownership.

His statements and legislation he's supported going back to when he was politician in Illinois are all consistent with an anti gun policy.

The President can not AMEND the Constitution and Obamas election will not effect the Supreme Court which interprets the Constitution. The whole issue is a Red Herring drummed up by the NRA to keep the bobble heads hating.
