All one needs to know about Obama’s stance on guns is that he is product of Chicago dem machine.
DAly and his machine have never believed that citizens should have guns, nor be able to defend themselves from criminals, govt or other thugs

Is Obama the anti-crist?

My money goes to the GOA, and JFPO, because they are working in my interest.

The NRA has worked against the interest of the average gun owner more often than in favor. Their outspoken insistence on the enforcement of unconstitutional gun laws is beyond comprehension until you come to grips with their real agenda of disarming the common man, while protecting the elite.

BANG! I forgot to mention that I believe another Pittsburgh Tribune-Review article stating Obama's wish to ban concealed carry was posted on this forum. I don't know if I posted it, or if I found it during a search prior to posting.

To me, at least, there's a difference between an editorial claiming he is in favor of something and an interview in which he says he's in favor of something.

And of all his anti-gun statements, I've seen none as blatant as this:

Obama disagreed. He backed federal legislation that would ban citizens from carrying weapons, except for law enforcement. He cited Texas as an example of a place where a law allowing people to carry weapons has "malfunctioned" because hundreds of people granted licenses had prior convictions.

"National legislation will prevent other states' flawed concealed-weapons laws from threatening the safety of Illinois residents," Obama said.

My Minnesota carry permit doesn't threat the safety of any Minnesota residents, let alone any Illinois residents.

Well, he doesn’t know why small town white people cling to their guns
