So Obama supports the 2nd amendment?

You're problem as a Mitt Romney supporter, is that they are both basically stating the same thing on the 2nd Amendment.

They both believe that so-called "Assault Weapons" have no place in the hands of citizens.

They both basically have stated that guns are just for hunting and self-defense with no mention of the real purpose of the 2nd Amendment, to strike fear in the hearts and minds of those in Government in order to remind them that the people are in charge and can take back their government, by force, if necessary.

Yes, many here are more anti-Romney than anti-Obama.

Obama talks of limiting some gun use in wake of Colorado massacre

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2910856/posts

President Obama has added his voice to the push for limits on Americans’ gun use in the wake the massacre last week at a movie theater in Colorado.

Obama, speaking Wednesday evening to the National Urban League, affirmed his belief in Americans’ right to own guns, but he singled out assault rifles as better suited for soldiers than civilians.

“I believe the Second Amendment guarantees an individual the right to bear arms,” Obama said. “But I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not on the streets of our cities.”

Also:

“Obama said he believes in the Second Amendment’s protection of gun rights and that hunting and shooting are part of a “cherished national tradition.”
