Obama supports 100% handgun bans which include bans on guns for self/home defense.
A fully-automatic one?
If he can't see the value in protecting one's life, why should I believe he'll give a DAMN about liberty or happiness ?
Honestly, you and the other conservatives have run like lemmings to give up your rights every time Bush has asked for it.
Right to trial? Gone.
Right to privacy? Gone.
And now, right to our economic future? Gone.
I'm sure you grab a beer, cradle you beloved gun in your arms, turn on the John Wayne film festival and tell yourself you're "free." Bah. I'm not actually convinced conservatives know what freedom is.
Actually, that's not entirely accurate...
ordinary citizens have never been able to own AK-47s, because they have a "full auto" mode - i.e., machine guns.
If you apply for and receive a Class III NFA firearms license you can own them.
Where in the world did you get the idea that only conservatives are concerned about this issue?
Honestly, you and the other conservatives have run like lemmings to give up your rights every time Bush has asked for it.
Right to trial? Gone.
For U.S. citizens ?
Obama is a constitutional law scholar. Now, if anybody can actually take the time to read DC v. Hiller, you will see that Scalia actually takes fifty five pages to explain why his interpretation was right. Fifty-five pages of parsing and explaining and phrasing. I swear to God, I thought I was in my high school English class again.
Now, Brown v. the Board of Education was written in three pages. Why is that? There is a rule that has at least some traction. The longer the opinion, the worse the decision. I've seen the opinion in Dred Scott. In fact, it goes on for for a full volume.
And, remember this. Four of the five judges held that the Second Amendment was not an individual right.
At any rate, you are fighting a battle that has already been decided. The Second Amendment is about individual rights. What it the world are you still fighting about?
