While Senator Obama says he supports the Second Amendment, the truth is, every American should fear his possible election for President this November.
While campaigning in Pennsylvania, Obama’s true colors came through when he told a newspaper that the Right-to-Carry poses a threat to innocent people. “I am not in favor of concealed weapons,” he told the Pittsburg Tribune-Review. “I think that creates a potential atmosphere where more innocent people could (get shot during) altercations.”
If you read the data, the Right-to Carry has been a success and has saved lives. Lets not forget that Obama has had Secret Service protection for almost a year. Obama has continued his elitist views when he wants to take away our right to protect our families, but allows armed protection of him and his family.
Obama believes that local jurisdictions can pass their own gun laws. He fails to realize that the Second Amendment gives the right to bear arms to every American.
Obama will provide more support for the criminal than for the law-biding citizen. In 1999, while in the Illinois state senate, a bill came up for a vote on whether to try teenage gang-bangers as adults when they fire a gun on or near school grounds. Obama voted “present.” That is actually a “No” vote. Obama has a history of voting “Present” on difficult issues.
In 2001, the Illinois legislature tried to control gang violence by making gang members eligible for the death penalty when they commit murder. Obama voted against the bill.
It gets worse. If those gang members or any criminal attacks you, Obama opposes your right to defend yourself. He opposes your Right to Carry. According to the Chicago Tribune, Obama supports legislation to ban the Right to Carry for everyone but police officers.
Obama does not even support your right to defend yourself with a gun if someone enters your house to cause harm to your family. Don’t forget that Obama says it is all right for his family to be protected, but not yours.
If elected, Senator Obama will eliminate your right to defend yourself and your family. He opposes the Second Amendment.
Join me and lets make sure Senator John McCain is elected as our next President in November.
