Is Obama really against gun ownership in America?
The new ads from the NRA state this.
I haven't been this upset since Rosie O'donell had a meltdown on Tom Selleck about gun ownership.

This is sad to hear. I was pretty decisive about who to vote for, but not any longer.

As Americans we have the right to gun ownership.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

He's got a history of being fairly anti-gun, which is my single biggest problem with Obama. I have some faith in the Second Amendment, though, and I honestly don't think anyone is going to get enough support for a constitutional amendment to overturn it.

There's a lot of hysteria over Obama's stance on the issue, with lots of gun enthusiasts absolutely convinced that on January 21st, 2009, Obama (if he wins) will sign laws outlawing all gun ownership, and the feds will show up at your door that day to confiscate all your "illegal" weapons (which would be all of them). Truth is, that's not going to happen.

What he CAN do, and probably will try to do, is steer legislation favorable to his views. This is my worry, and it's a valid one. There was already a new, expanded version of Clinton's "Assault Weapons Ban" introduced in the House of Representatives this year, but it will surprise you WHO introduced it: four REPUBLICAN Congressmen!

I have little doubt that another AWB is coming, one way or another. All that gun enthusiasts can do in the meantime is contact their Congresspeople and make their views known.

And if you have your eye on a gun, it's a good idea to buy it sooner rather than later - especially if you desire something with a magazine capacity of more than 10 rounds. I've picked up a couple interesting items in the past few months, but now I'm stocking up more on ammo (prices have skyrocketed in the past few years) and "high-capacity" magazines rather than on any particular model of handgun or rifle. What good is a gun if you don't have any ammo for it?

But yeah, Obama's record on guns is definitely not one of his strong suits, in my opinion. :(

This world is a comedy for those who think, and a tragedy for those who feel.

Trolls Against McCain!

Thanks for your honesty.

^^^You know, I expected a little more from most people who posted on this thread. I just wanted an honest answer. For some of you to just blatantly say "NO" without doing any research or knowing what your talking about is a disservice to the truth. Obama is clearly anti-gun(at least handguns). For me this is a deal breaker. I'm simply not voting.
