It's just an opinion, but my opinion is that Obama is a better choce than Hillary.  I base this on a couple of comments by Obama and what I've seen in general.

It touches me when people are victims of gun violence because it has touched my life.  As a result, I educated myself about guns a long time ago.  There is a loophole in federal law that allows people to buy and sell guns out of their personal collections.  It has been exploited by people buying and selling guns at shows for many years.  In short, anyone who wants a gun can buy one without a background check or any record of the sale.  Obama is the only candidate I've ever heard mention this loophole and say that it should be closed.  I'm sure the woman in my hometown, who was enjoying a summer festival with her longtime husband when he was shot in the head by gang members, will agree the law must be modified.  As it stands, I've seen minors purchasing guns at shows.  Anyone who tells you this is not possible is not telling the truth.

Obama also said something like:  "YOu can tell the lobbyists that if I'm elected it's not business as usual in Washington."  We can no longer allow business and special interest lobbies to write the rule books we live by.  Agreements that open the door to countries with no respect for the environment, or workers, do not benefit anyone except the richand some investors, who seem to be playing monopoly without regard for the well-being of this planet, the people who live on it, or the future.  What I've seen in America during my lifetime is the steady erosion of social responsibility.  While Hillary is a far cry better than many of the leaders we've been betrayed by, I believe Obama will do far better than Hillary.

As an American, I urge you to support Obama's campaign and vote in the fall

  • Well I wish I knew where one of these Gunshows are so I can just walk in and buy whatever I want with no paper trail. Can you provide me an address? Because they don't exist in California and I suspect in Barack's home State of illinois either.

    Any of the 24 States that still actually have the audacity to allow citizens to sell their own private property can certainly pass laws to prohibit that.

    Thing about Obama, he's not just talking about Gunshow loopholes. Barack says "I believe in keeping guns out of our inner cities, and that our leaders must say so in the face of the gun manfuacturer's lobby."*

    Think about what that actually means for a minute. When Barack refers to "our inner cities" he means denying colored people their right to own guns. Note he doesn't specify what kind of guns. Just guns. Any and all guns.

    Maybe you should educate yourself on Jim Crow laws.

    So Barack thinks "the inner cities" are too stoned, stupid and violence prone to have the Constitution apply to them. What does he think about guns out in the burbs?

    Well Barack Obama thinks that semi-automatic firearms are too dangerous for even white people to be trusted with so he wants to ban them. All of them** From my Colt .45 to my little Browning .22 target pistol and 20 guage shotgun.

    Just translating the rhetoric for you.

    No it's safe for now. Pump actions are still under Sarah Brady's radar. I like those Mossies. Cheap and all business with the safety where it's supposed to be.

    plus you dont really have to aim. in fact you dont even have to buy ammo. once all i had to do was stand on my balcony and make the "pump action" noise when i saw a guy trying to get in my truck. the dude actually fell down in the street trying to get away.
