One issue I am pretty fervent about is the second amendment rights.

I am a member of the NRA and voting for McCain, however I do not believe Obama is planning on taking away hand guns, hunting, etc.

I am not an NRA member, although my DH is, but I do like to shoot. However I support Obama and as the other poster said, I don't think he's trying to take away our guns. Supporting gun control measures doesn't mean that you are against the right to keep and bear arms.

Not sure if this is accurate, but it does semi hold that there may be a bigger issue with guns then I knew of.

I have issues if he did indeed vote on some of these things.

I don't like Obama's position on guns, but I am voting for him for other reasons.

From what I read on the link you provided http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lindsecy/September12.html


I can see that Obama wants to ban semi-auto weapons and allow lawsuits against gun manufacturers for injuries caused by people using guns.

Although I think that that is a great site to use for comparison, it unfortunately, due to it's concise format, only gives brief details. You need to check out other sources for more detailed information. Did you read the information presented in the other sources? If so then you would know that Obma is not creating a new ban, he wants to reinstate the ban that expired in 2004.
