"I, I, just want to be absolutely clear, all right? So I dont want any misunderstanding, when, when yall go home and youre talkin to your buddies, and they say, "Aww, he wants to take my gun away." Youve heard it here; Im on television, so everybody knows it. I believe in the Second Amendment. I believe in peoples lawful right to bear arms. I will not take your shotgun away. I will not take your rifle away. I wont take your handgun away
But I am not going to take your guns away. So if you want to find an excuse not to v**e for me, dont use that one because it just aint true. It aint true."
No, he doesn't want to take your guns away, he just wants to make it impossible to get ammo. He instructed the EPA to force so many new regulations on the led smelters, that the last one just closed it's doors because they couldn't afford to meat all the new regulations. They also tried buying up all the ammo they could so we couldn't get any. Where 30/06 ammo used to cost around $1.06 per round, it may very well cost $3.50 a round soon. The only way bullet makers can get the led to make bullets is to import it now and that is going to cost big time.
"Feinstein was the driving force to the failed (and now lapsed) 1994 assault weapons ban, and it was upon her success at getting the law passed that she made her admission. If I could've gotten 51 v**es in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them -- Mr. and Mrs. America turn 'em all in -- I would have done it. I could not do that. The v**es weren't here."
She is not the only one trying to ban guns totally. The only people they think should be allowed to carry guns are their personal body guards.

Senator Obama on gun control:

For the past 15 years, I have served in the Illinois state capitol as the chief lobbyist for the Illinois State Rifle Association.
I lobbied Barack Obama extensively while he was an Illinois State Senator. As a result of that experience, I know Obama's attitudes toward guns and gun owners better than anyone. The t***h be told, in all my years in the Capitol I have never met a legislator who harbors more contempt for the law-abiding firearm owner than does Barack Obama.
Although Obama claims to be an advocate for the 2nd Amendment, his v****g record in the Illinois Senate paints a very different picture. While a state senator, Obama v**ed for a bill that would ban nearly every hunting rifle, shotgun and target rifle owned by Illinois citizens. That same bill would authorize the state police to raid homes of gun owners to forcibly confiscate banned guns. Obama supported a bill that would shut down law-abiding firearm manufacturers including Springfield Armory, Armalite, Rock River Arms and Les Baer. Obama also v**ed for a bill that would prohibit law-abiding citizens from purchasing more than one gun per month.
Without a doubt, Barack Obama has proven himself to be an enemy of the law abiding firearm owner. At the same time, Obama has proven himself to be a friend to the hardened criminal. While a state senator, Obama v**ed 4 times against legislation that would allow a homeowner to use a firearm in defense of home and family.
Does Barack Obama still sound to you like a "friend" of the law-abiding gun owner?
And speaking of friends, you can always tell a person by the company they keep. Obama counts among his friends the Rev. Michael Pfleger - a renegade Chicago priest who has openly called for the murder of gun shop owners and pro-gun legislators. Then there is his buddy Richard Daley, the mayor of Chicago who has declared that if it were up to him, nobody would be allowed to own a gun. And let's not forget Obama's pal George Soros - the guy who has pumped millions of dollars into the UN's international effort to disarm law-abiding citizens.
Obama has shown that he is more than willing to use other people's money to fund his campaign to take your guns away from you. While a board member of the l*****t Joyce Foundation, Barack Obama wrote checks for tens of millions of dollars to extremist gun control organizations such as the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence and the Violence Policy Center.
Does Barack Obama still sound to you like a "friend" of the law-abiding gun owner?
By now, I'm sure that many of you have received mailings from an organization called "American H****rs and Shooters Association(AHSA)" talking about what a swell fellow Obama is and how he honors the 2nd Amendment and how you will never have to worry about Obama coming to take your guns. Let me make it perfectly clear - everything the AHSA says about Obama is pure hogwash. The AHSA is headed by a group of left-wing elitists who subscribe to the British view of hunting and shooting. That is, a state of affairs where hunting and shooting are reserved for the wealthy upper-crust who can afford guided hunts on exclusive private reserves. The AHSA is not your friend, never will be.
In closing, I'd like to remind you that I'm a guy who has actually gone nose to nose with Obama on gun rights issues. The Obama I know cannot even begin to identify with this nation's outdoor traditions. The Obama I know sees you, the law abiding gun owner, as nothing but a low-class lummox who is easily swayed by the flash of a smile and a ration of rosy rhetoric. The Obama I know is a stony-faced liar who has honed his sk**l at getting what he wants - so long as people are willing to give it to him.
That's the Barack Obama I know.

Obama is for or against wh**ever will benefit him politically at any given time.
