``The Verdict: Misleading. While Obama has supported some measures to
limit gun rights, he has backed nothing on the scale suggested in the
[NRA] ad.''

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politic...f_Barack_Obama

"As a state legislator in Illinois, Obama supported banning the sale
or transfer of all forms of semi-automatic firearms, increasing state
restrictions on the purchase and possession of firearms"

"He supported a "ban" on the sale and possession of handguns on
a political questionnaire."

"In 1999, he urged for prohibiting the operation of any gun store
within five miles of a school or park, which according to gun-rights
advocates would eliminate gun stores from most of the inhabited
portion of the United States."

"He sponsored a bill in 2000 limiting handgun purchases to one
per month."

"As state senator, he voted against a 2004 measure that allowed
self-defense as an affirmative defense to those charged with
violating
local laws making it otherwise unlawful for such persons to possess
firearms."

"He also voted against allowing persons who had obtained domestic
violence protective orders to carry handguns for their protection."

"While in the US Senate, Obama has supported several gun control
measures, including restricting the purchase of firearms at gun shows
and the reauthorization of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban."

"Obama voted against legislation protecting firearm manufacturers
from certain liability suits, which gun-rights advocates say are
designed
to bankrupt the firearms industry."

"Obama has also stated his opposition to allowing citizens to carry
concealed firearms and supports a national law outlawing the
practice."
