The Obama campaign talks a lot about new ideas and expanding the political map, but in the swing state of Pennsylvania, which the campaign has focused on almost exclusively since the Democratic convention, old-school issues still rise to the fore.
The latest example came Friday during a small political event at SCHOTT North America Inc., a glass factory in Duryea, Pa., where even a hand-picked crowd threw Barack Obama a curve ball.
A woman in the crowd told Obama she had “heard a rumor” that he might be planning some sort of gun ban upon being elected president. Obama trotted out his standard policy stance, that he had a deep respect for the “traditions of gun ownership” but favored measures in big cities to keep guns out of the hands of “gang bangers and drug dealers’’ in big cities “who already have them and are shooting people.”

Yeah. I don’t get these big city folk. Why don’t they want guns to defend themselves from all the criminals who live there?
YEP. Damn Straight!

So according to obama the United States Constitution was designed to be operated and used differently in the Cities from the countryside and from Montana and New York? Funny I never saw those sections when ever I read the US Constitution.
Never believe this zero. As with all socialist he will remove as many guns from the people as he can get away with. Its what they do.
Well ok that seems reasonable to me. /s
So what measures might The One enact to keep guns out of the hands of gang bangers and dope dealers who ALREADY HAVE THEM?
What a dope.
My thoughts exactly, when I saw the title.
Bet your sweet ass you're not!
Good one. He is beyond clueless but that’s what happens when you’re raised by Rev. Wright and the Chicago political machine.
“I’m not going to LEGALLY take away your guns.’’
There, now he’s telling the truth. And frankly, few gun bills actually take guns away; they just make it more of a headache to own them, which is still illegal.
They will trust him even less after those words.
‘I’m Not Going to Take Your Guns Away’...
...because I’ll order the BATFE and National Guard to do it - sheesh, what’dya think, that I’d get my hands dirty doing anything? Oh, and in addition, I promise that I’ll do everything humanly possible to regulate, restrict, increase the cost and inconvenience of, and limit transportation of all guns, ammo, ammo components and magazines. And no more imports. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Molon Labe!!! Come and get them! http://moviesonline.ca/TheFeed/index.php?id=300-laydownyourweapons
He will have someone else do it.
If Hussein had had time to think about it, or rather if his people had thought about it before this comment was delivered someone would have realized that this negative formulation would not allay concerns and might just raise the angst quotient a tad.
Blah, blah, blah. Liar.
‘I’m not going to take your guns away’...thus sayeth the Lord.
