Obama’s Aim Despite the rhetoric, the candidate opposes gun rights.
By David Freddoso
Denver — In 2007, Senator Barack Obama stood up for a gun owner. He endorsed Chicago Alderman Dorothy Tillman in her Democratic primary. Not only was she a gun owner, but she had even pulled a gun on her colleagues during a contentious 1991 ward redistricting hearing, according to eyewitnesses. Tillman, best known for demanding to be served by black (not white) waiters, and for advocating reparations for slavery, narrowly lost her race despite Obama’s support.
It would be only a slight exaggeration to say that this was the strongest effort Obama has ever made to support gun rights.
POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON
A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad
Luckily, members of the House and the Senate are beholden to their constituents. Ultimately, it does not matter what one man thinks about guns as long as there is a majority, across Party lines, that respects our right to bear arms.
Furthermore, any elected official is protected by people with guns. Take away theirs too?
