The problem is not with the guns... The problem is they are all too often in the wrong hands. Sure, let's do like Chicago, where the only folks with guns are the criminals, who probably wouldn't be allowed to own a gun in any city due to lengthy criminal records.
Air guns, because they use compressed air and not an explosive to expel a projectile, do not constitute firearms under Federal law. I find it amusing that people keep claiming Obama is trying to ban guns despite the total lack of any action over the past 4 years, while Romney actually signed into law an assault weapons ban when he was governor.
0bama says "cheap guns" are the problem in Chicago
How could anyone that owns a gun vote for this Jerk???
He supports the 2nd amendment
He said "cheap guns" because those are the kinds of LEGAL firearms which are being used in the inner-cities to murder people. Assault weapons and cheap handguns are not the same thing.
He's not going to take away your guns.
Gun voters are definitely the worst. They literally base everything on some tinfoil hat conspiracy that the government will send a militia to their house to steal their guns. It's completely insane and utterly moronic.
And Romney's position on guns has dramatically shifted just so he could get the NRA's endorsement. He was very anti-gun before and I think if he was elected that he'd be more willing to ban guns than Obama because he's actually done it before!
One-issue voters are bad enough, but the ignorant ones are even worse. Before you base your entire vote on something, shouldn't you make sure that you're actually right in your assessment of the one issue that matters to you?

Congrats, you are maybe the 100th person to post this meme on CD.
It's pretty simple if you weigh everything in context. Obama was on record as favoring a ban on all semi-autos (not just so-called "assault weapons") as IL state senator. He has never said that he changed his mind on that. He hasn't acted as president because he couldn't afford to politically. He told Sarah Brady that he was working "under the radar" on gun control. He remains committed to a generally collectivist outlook which spawned the idea that guns can be reserved to the collective (police & military).
Romney has a problematic past but has moved to the right, to individualism, on a whole range of issues, which to me makes his evolution on the gun issue credible. While Obama brought in Joe Biden, a leader on the pro-gun-control side, Romney brought in Ryan, a stalwart supporter of gun rights.
I am an NRA member and after reading a couple of interesting article on GUNS in the latest issue of American Rifleman I threw it away as the rest of the magazine was a deliberately lying piece of pure propaganda. Everything they attributed to Romney was the exact opposite of what the man DID in Massachusetts when he was governor.
A vote for Romney is a vote to lose your rights to own ANY firearms. Plutocrats like Romney have a built in fear of armed peasants and to him anyone not born to money are peasants to be owned and exploited.
President Obama is a constitutional scholar and would not attempt to deny our right to keep firearms as protected by the 2nd amendment.
