On the Second Amendment, Don’t Believe Obama





Print PDF version

The presidential primary season is finally over, and it is now time for
gun owners to take a careful look at just where nominee Barack Obama
stands on issues related to the Second Amendment. During the primaries,
Obama tried to hide behind vague statements of support for “sportsmen” or
unfounded claims of general support for the right to keep and bear arms.

But his real record, based on votes taken, political associations, and
long standing positions, shows that Barack Obama is a serious threat to
Second Amendment liberties. Don’t listen to his campaign
rhetoric! Look instead to what he has said and done during
his entire political career.

of the five Supreme Court justices who affirmed an individual right to
keep and bear arms. He voted against the confirmation of Alito and Roberts
and he has stated he would not have appointed Thomas or
Scalia.17

State Senate bill to ban and confiscate “assault weapons,” but the bill
