On the Second Amendment, Don’t Believe Obama


The presidential primary season is finally over, and it is now time for gun owners to take a careful look at just where nominee Barack Obama stands on issues related to the Second Amendment.

I think you're talking about when Couric asked her to name a Sup Court case OTHER THAN the Roe v. Wade and whether she ( Palin) liked the decision or not.


She totally went blank and then went back to Roe v Wade several times.

Pray tell how your comment refers to Obama being Anti-Gun?

In typical liberal fashion, you attempt to change the subject when the honesty of your candidate is questioned?

You're not only a liar. You're a stupid one in addition.

Not to allow you to get off the topic :wink: , but Obama (the Constitutional Professor) was asked about the Second Amendment (part of the Constitution) and he went in to his stuttering and stammering contraticting mode. Pathetic.

Well last I knew- the Constitution had a lot to do with gun rights- and this broad only knows of one Supreme Court ruling in the 200 years and that is Roe v Wade..... :roll:

I didn't see you calling FH a liar when she lied about a Democrat governor that I proved got an A rating from NRA- and was endorsed over the Repub candidate... Is that different?- Not fit your racist agenda?

Repubs shoot from the hip- socialism for the rich scares me a hell of a lot more anymore....

The Constitution has a lot to do with many rights.

You even have the right to be stupid under the the Freedom of Speech amendment and you prove it everyday.

As far as being racist......the first SCOTUS decision I would have thought of was "Brown vs. Board of Education".

Which will certainly allow your grandaughter's to attend a Muslim school and wear Burkhas one day.

Schweitzer told reporters this week that Obama “ain’t ever going to take your gun away” and suggested there was little difference between the Democrat and Republican John McCain. The NRA said Schweitzer was misrepresenting the candidates’ positions.


“To somehow suggest (Obama) is supportive of gun owners because he says so when he is in Montana running for president is absurd,” Cox said in a telephone interview from Virginia. “We are going to make sure that anybody that tells Montana gun owners that Barack Obama is not a threat to gun owners is exposed as someone who is not shooting straight.”

Looks like Schweitzer is trying to spread lies for Obama. Typical Dem.....

How does Schweitzer know his statement above is true?

Because Obama told him so..That's how!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
