US Election Thread (n/t) by merlin2008-07-10 09:45:37
  Will the real Barack Obama please stand up? by merlin2008-07-10 09:57:43
    There is one thing I don't quite understand. by Peace_man2008-07-10 12:33:45
      Here's my problem. by hadji2008-07-10 12:44:19
        This quote from him: by Peace_man 2008-07-10 13:13:54
Obama said he has "always believed that the 2nd Amendment protects the right of individuals to bear arms, but I also identify with the need for crime-ravaged communities to save their children from the violence that plagues our streets through common-sense, effective safety measures." ... seems to sum it up nicely.

He believes that a community has the right to limit what weapons it will allow. And that the SCOTUS has the authority to decide where this right steps over the line of the second amendment. Basically, pro-local governance, and pro-Constitution. And I haven't seen anything to indicate his view has changed.

He does lack the belief that guns will prevent crime - that private gun ownership is always a good thing. I can't fault him for that :-)

          I wonder if he takes the same approach... by VivianC2008-07-10 13:29:00
            Maybe he does. by Peace_man2008-07-10 14:09:16
          I don't think his statement summed it up nicely. by hadji2008-07-10 13:31:18
