As a pro second amendment guy, I have to tell you that what you say is nonsense. You have the right to own anything the military owns? Really? So you would have no problem with someone in the next town owning a 14 inch artillary piece that can toss a five hundred pound high explosive projectile twenty miles?
And would you really be ok with someone owning a small nuke, provided they were able to make one? Because I can deal with the possibility that some wack job might walk into a mall and shoot a bunch of people. That will happen regardless of what the gun laws are and I do not think it justifies taking away our freedom to own or carry a firearm. But a crazy man with a small nuke can wipe a good sized town off the map and kill a good 80 or 90 thousand...at least. If you find that a risk that is worth taking, then you clearly love "freedom" far more than I do.
I love freedom, but it should not be no holds barred. Where it regards nukes and massively powerful weapons that can destroy whole city blocks, I do not think any individual should be trusted to have them. And that includes me. Sure I know I would never use such a weapon, but do you know it? |

"The real definition of the Second Amendment gives me the right to own any weapon used by our military, or it has no meaning at all".
Very true!
Also I would like to believe that our own military would side with the people of America rather then take orders from a future president and government that is out of control. |

The Second Amendment was far more than self-defense! It was the basis by which the people could stay free by throwing off a tyrannical government.
By stating we can defend ourselves, the elites have once again duped us. How could the people fight off a tyrannical government that has night vision, helicopters, machine guns,and other sophisticated weaponry.
The real definition of the Second Amendment gives me the right to own any weapon used by our military, or it has no meaning at all.

The second amendment is in the Bill of Rights to defend all the other rights from a tyrannical government.
The second amendment is critical for a free country. A person is not free... if they are not free to defend themselves.
Obama is not smart enough or could care less to understand this very important fact. |

The federal government has no business banning handguns. I agree with Scalia the right is not unlimited (I think most of us would agree that private ownership of a nuclear missile can be regulated and prohibited) and of course keeping guns out of hands of felons, the mentally ill, and certain federal properties are reasonable restrictions.
But where Heller really makes a difference is suggesting very strongly that the 14th Amendment incorporated this right to the states. That means NYC's blanket prohibition against handguns will likely fall. Good. It was an insane law, only allowing criminals to have guns and not law abiding citizens. |

Thomas Sowell wrote (quite some time ago):
Like virtually every other liberal crusade, gun control is based on the assumption that other people lack common sense and must be controlled by the superior wisdom and virtue of the annoited."
Pretty much says it all... |

Obama actually repeals all the illegal gun laws in his own state, I will give him the chance to do the same for my Country. |

Most people seem to forget that the dem pinko anti second amendment crusade has absolutely NOTHING to do with guns any more than the tax hikes have nothing to do with money and that socialized medicine has nothing to do with health. It has everything to do with power. The less guns we have and the more of our money they have the more we will come to depend on this "Government". The lib pinko commie marxists would like nothing more than us to be defenseless to a type of government that they are striving to attain. This country better wake up and soon. This country is long overdue for a good old fashioned revolution. |

After hearing all of the liberals and leftists (I know, it's redundant) talk about how they are "nuanced", I've reached the conclusion that the word "nuanced" must mean A) Lying about what you said in the past or B) Double-minded - that is holding two totally opposite views at the same time without your head exploding!

liar when it comes to the 2nd amendment.He supported the Chicago handgun ban and sought to extend it to the entire state of Ill.
He sought the complete elimination of all handgun mfg in the country.
He says he supports our 2nd amendment rights, but then advocates "reasonable regulations".
What regulations is he talking about?
I'll believe him when he comes out for CCW permits to be valid in all 50 states like drivers licenses..that's truly backing our rights.
Ya gotta be nuts to even consider a vote for this marxist. |

If you take a new quarter, 07 or newer, sit it on it's side and spin it...it turns into a midnight blue UN nighthawk helicopter! |

The United States Sentencing Commission decided a court case? Talk about judicial activism! That's almost as scary as the thought that the United Nations has ANYTHING to do with our country's gun laws. |
|
|
Thursday's decision by the USSC does not end the debate. The far left Brady campaign and the United Nations will continue the assault on American's right of self defense and possesion of firearms. Stay Ready ... There's more to come. |

can't answer the question. He wants to sit on the fence. After all, it's politically expedient. This gives us some insight into his character.

I just wish these politicians (who are all protected by armed security) wouldn't be such self centered Poop Heads. The average citizen has as just as much right to live securely as any politician. Some Sheriffs are in the same category when it coomes to issuing CCW permits. They are so afraid a citizen won't get murdered so they can investigate under the scrutiny of the public news media. |

Does Obama ever have a meaningful thing to say about anything? NOT, He is clueless! He even thinks he can provide a FAKE Birth Certificate and no one will notice..........Wake UP! |
|
|
What type of spin are you going to put on THIS one? And will you defend it? Come on! Stand up for your right to respond to your detractors . . . and then DO IT. |
|
|
The 2A also gurantees the right to legally carry a firearm or self defense, in your car or on your person. |
|
.... to provide a meaningful answer to that question?
What you mean "THAT" question?
Has he given any on other topics - you know, and stuck with them?

If Obama's campaign (and the willing media) gets it's way, he'll be a center-right moderate by November.
