Obama remains unclear on gun control
Times Union ^ | Nov. 24, 2011 | Erica Werner

They are fuzzy about some issues but the Republican presidential candidates leave little doubt about where they stand on gun rights.

President Barack Obama, on the other hand, is virtually silent on the issue.

Obama's history in support of strict gun control measures prior to becoming president makes it difficult for him to claim he's a Second Amendment champion, even though he signed a bill allowing people to take loaded guns into national parks. At the same time, he's apparently decided that his record backing gun safety is nothing to boast of, either, perhaps because of the power of the gun lobby.

This article should explain where he stands on gun control. He will do exactly what he is told to do by the puppet masters.

Romney said he was in favor of a complete ban on semi-automatic weapons while governor of Massachusetts. He’s a gun-grabber just like The Bamster.

What he wants us to believe:

Obama remains unclear on gun control

What he wants:

Obama remains unclear goes nuclear on gun control

I think Gunwalker explains his position pretty well.

This writer says Obama’s stands on gun control are unclear, then goes on to say that Obama has a record of backing strict gun control measures before he became president.

So how exactly is his position unclear???

What is unclear about Barry wanting to disarm the American people except for his civilian army?

“Unclear???” Oh please! Hussein might have resorted to stone silence since his election, but his views on the right to keep and bear arms are FAR from unclear!!! After all, Fast and Furious is the most massive, illegal and unconstitutional attempt to undermine the 2nd Amendment in the nation’s history!

I disagree. 0bama said it himself to the Brady woman, "we are working on [it] under the radar." That statement makes it very clear where he stands.

I wonder if Erica Werner is familiar with Operation Fast & Furious?

Erica Werner wouldn't know gun safety if it impacted her hoplophobic a$$ at high velocity.

Obama is playing it close to the vest on this and many other issues until after the election.

Obumma is attempting to play a shell game on the 2A, letting his surrogates do the damage while maintaining a facade of seeming inaction. The classic slow boiled frog in the pot.
