I've heard this before and I'm not getting it.

Has he done something to make gun lovers afraid? I'm sincerely
curious. I have no strong opinions on the 2nd Amendment other than I
think it should be enforced.
s 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.
s state senator, he voted against a 2004 measure that allowed
self-defense as an affirmative defense for 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.


As far as the 1st Amendment I'm sure there are many more right-wing
kooks would like to wiggle around that one.

Nah both sides are more than happy to try to silence those who
disagree.

Obama had his campaigm email supporters to get them to flood talk radio and
TV shows where people were critizing Obama,to deny the opposing opinions to
be aired.He asked the Justice Department to prosecute the NRA for running
ads showing Obama's anti-gun record.He got Missouri officials to use their
official powers to go after people whose opinions he didn't like.Obama
favors bringing back the "Fairness Doctrine".



Obama claimed to "support the Second Amendment",yet didn't sign the Heller
amicus brief as other DemocRATs did.He first said he believed DC was OK to
ban guns,then reversed himself after the USSC ruled in favor of Heller.
