i just saw a commercial no more than 2 minutes ago of obama supporting gun rights,not just for hunting but to defend yourselves.thank goodness.looks like we are'nt in as big of trouble as people are making it out.he even brought up the nra.after all i've seen on this site it was the last thing i expected to see in a obama add.i wonder how many gun shops are using politics to scare people into buying guns that are supposedly going to be outlawed.
 
So a fool from chicago who has never voted against a gun ban in his life will suddenly become pro-gun. Are you that naive?

Talk is cheap: Politicians lie, their voting records do not.

Ziggy you state in other posts that you lean Democrat, so I'm not particularly likely to take your self-serving statement at face value given Obama's previously stated positions on guns unless you'd like to link to his website or the youtube version of the commercial or something.
 
He is.

Just read his campaign website for their official policy and not what they spin.

Address Gun Violence in Cities: As president, Barack Obama would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals who shouldn't have them. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets.

BTW, this is not a legal discussion but a politics one.
