Thanks very much.
I’ve just come to the conclusion that gun control restrictions are naive, not to say unconstitutional!
I thinks I remember hearing that Obama’s home state of Illinois has the strictest firearms restrictions against law-abiding gun owners. Hence, the astronomical murder rate and shooting sprees in Chicago.
I remember an interview a while ago with John Lott where he was talking about meeting a young Obama in Chicago at the college that they both were lecturing at.
Going from memory, the conversation went something like this:
*introductions*
Obama: “Oh, you’re the gun guy.”
Lott: “Well, I guess, so.”
Obama: “I don’t believe people should be able to own guns.”
Lott then suggested that they meet up sometime to talk about it. Obama just turned his back and walked away.
I believe this was over 20 years ago. I remember it from one of the gun podcasts I listen to.
