Yet on the gun issue, there’s a close parallel between one of Obama’s close spiritual advisors and Obama’s own anti-rights extremism. An April 5, 2004, article about Obama in the Chicago Sun-Times, reported, “Friends and advisers, such as the Rev. Michael Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina Roman Catholic Church in the Auburn--Gresham community on the South Side, who has known Obama for the better part of 20 years, help him keep that compass set, he [Obama] says.” The Obama campaign touted Pfleger as one of several prominent ministers endorsing Obama.

Father Pfleger is well-known to Chicagoland gun owners for his picketing of Chuck’s Gun Shop, in the town of Riverdale, which borders Chicago’s south side. There being no gun stores in Chicago, Chuck’s is the closest gun store to the Windy City. Pfleger and his picketers demand that the Riverdale city council outlaw all gun stores in the city. “Vote Riverdale gun dry,” they chant.

Obama’s compass points in the same directions as Pfleger’s. When running for the U.S. House in 1999, Barack Obama called for a federal law banning all gun stores within five miles of a school or park. This would implement the Pfleger “gun dry” plan nationwide, outlawing gun stores from almost city or town in America.

Senator Clinton no more deserves gun-owner votes than Lord Voldemort deserves the Muggle vote. In the Senate, she has voted in favoring of abusive lawsuits against law-abiding gun manufacturers, for banning cosmetically incorrect guns which are falsely labeled “assault weapons,” and for allowing federal funds to be used to confiscate guns from law-abiding citizens after a natural disaster—as was done following Hurricane Katrina.

Her lone pro-Second Amendment vote was for a national bill allowing retired police officers, under stringent licensing conditions, to carry concealed handguns in all fifty states.

Yet Senator Clinton’s childhood in the Midwest, and her decades in Arkansas, have apparently given her the ability to project an impression of at least slight understanding of American gun culture, a culture which Obama seems to regard with a condescending detachment like that of a 19th-century Oxford anthropologist examining a tribe of Amazonian headhunters.

Thus, the Democratic race continues into June, thanks to Senator Clinton’s iron will, and the most surprising new group in her base: Democratic gun owners and their families.
