Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban

[pkbites]

@Kimstu

Hmmm, do you have cites for the assertion that posters here thought that the Obama administration wouldn’t be advocating any gun-control measures?

The word “any” is too broad and get’s you off too easily. But here are some posts from just one single thread:

@jackdavinci

I suspect that guns are a non issue for Obama. Certainly there are more pressing concerns what with the economy and the war. The topic didn’t come up in the debate, and I haven’t heard him talking about it during the campaign. It’s not even listed on his platform page as far as I can tell. This source seems to indicate that he is somewhat for gun control but probably is happy to leave it up to state and local authorities.

@Ravenman

Obama has said that he believes that gun ownership is an individual right protected by the Second Amendment, and he supported the Supreme Court’s reversal of the gun ban in DC.

@dropzone

Oh, ferchrissake! Obama, despite what you have heard, is a fairly CONSERVATIVE Democrat!!! See? That’s FIVE exclamation points, the most I give. You have nothing to fear that your guns will be yanked from your warm, flexible, hands. ANYTHING ELSE IS FROM LISTENING TO SCAREMONGERS ON THE RADIO!!! Look: Dude is trying to build a fuckin’ COALITION! HOW THE FUCK CAN HE HOPE TO DO THAT WHILE DUMPING ON THE GUN FANS???

@E-Sabbath

So unless and until we have another major shooting, I think gun control is probably not something that will come from him.

@DrDeth

I don’t think Obama will push any anti-gun bills.

What fools these mortals be!:smack:
