Obama has totally subverted the Constitution by signing NDAA into law.

What do you think NDAA covers? And has it existed before Obama? Or, are you just as clueless about it as the rest of them?

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!

Here's an article showing how his position on gun control changes depending on who he is talking to.
Since you probably wont click the link, here's the highlight:
"I don’t line up with the NRA." — 1994, to reporters at a campaign stop. During his 1994 Senate campaign, Romney came out in support of the Brady Bill and a ban on certain types of assault weapons.


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?
In his own words, Obama said he would choose to reinstate the Clinton semi-auto ban. Or something similar.

Unfortunately, Romney is little better. He could have made a difference last night and simply said restricting the rights of legal gun owners has no effect on reducing crime or violence, and may in fact make it worse. Instead he took a weak position that satisfied no one.

I own two handguns, one rifle, one shotgun and I am voting for Obama. I made a lot of money from people like you by buying shares in Ruger. Obama isn't taking away the second amendment. I'm glad to see the far right hysteria is still alive about this issue though. If Obama wins, I'll buy Ruger again and make some more money from all the chickens running around with their heads off.

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.
The President actually supported the 2nd Amendment more strongly than Mitt did. I was shocked Mitt was as weak as he was with his answer. Your post helps explain why.

Mitt could have come out strong and made a statement about the 2nd Amendment and his support of firearm owners. He didn't do that. Isn't Ryan a hunter? Mitt could have mentioned that. You have to wonder why he didn't.

Well, the paniced little sheeple will no doubt toddle off to their favorite gun store and keep the gun sellers very happy with their mindless paranoia.

The bizzaro world logic of some people is mind boggling. The fact that Obama has done nothing to restrict gun ownership in his 4 years as President somehow becomes proof of his super secret plot to ban guns. While the fact that Romney signed an assault weapons ban into law as governor is totally ignored because he now parrots the NRA talking points.

All of the presidents, from 1950 on?
Did all of those presidents subvert the constitution by signing them into law?

Because he actually has a decent record when it comes to the 2nd amendment and guns, unlike his opponent.
