Obama's Anti-2nd Amendment

On the Second Amendment,
Don’t Believe Obama!

The presidential primary season is finally over, and it is now time for
gun owners to take a careful look at just where apparent 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.

FACT: Barack Obama voted to allow reckless lawsuits designed
to bankrupt the firearms industry.1

discredited Clinton Gun Ban.2

commonly used for hunting and sport shooting.3

Amendment rights in the Heller case.

leading source of funds for anti-gun organizations and “research.”8

which would eliminate almost every gun store in America.9

Special Thanks the NRA for collecting this data, the little numbers are references for footnotes, I chose not to add to the length of this blog, I'll provide them for you if you need more proof.
