More dirt comes out of the Obama campaign than dirt in a cemetary.  Via Modern Conservative:

What gun owners must know before they vote is that Obama promises to appoint a U.S. Supreme Court that will eradicate the Second Amendment from the Constitution.

On June 26, in the case District of Columbia v. Heller, the Supreme Court held in a split 5-4 decision that the Second Amendment secures a right to keep and bear arms for private citizens, and struck down the D.C. law that banned all handguns and readily-usable firearms, even in your own home.

That decision turned on a single vote. The four liberal justices on the Supreme Court voted against the Second Amendment and to uphold the gun ban. They wrote that the Second Amendment confers no right whatsoever on private citizens, that Americans have no personal right to own guns of any sort, and the government can confiscate or ban them at will.

The Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms survived by the slimmest of margins. If a single justice had voted the other way, the Second Amendment would have been erased from the Constitution forever.

Obama’s record shows his assurances to gun owners are cheap campaign talk. He has an unbroken record of voting for every anti-gun measure to come before him. He’s voted to outlaw ammunition and to allow trial lawyers to sue gun makers and dealers for the misuse of firearms by criminals.  He has voted against the self-defense rights of victims of crime. He even wrote as early as 1996 that he supported a law to ban all handguns.

But even if he had no anti-gun record, he has said who he would appoint to the Supreme Court and the justices he would appoint will take away our Second Amendment rights.

He has singled out one justice on the Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, as his model for Supreme Court appointments. Justice Ginsburg was one of the four who voted that private citizens have no Second Amendment rights at all, and voted to uphold D.C.’s handgun ban.

The next president will probably have at least three Supreme Court appointments in his first term alone. Not since Ronald Reagan has any president had that many vacancies in a single term. If Barack Obama becomes president, appointing three more Ginsburgs to the Supreme Court could doom the Second Amendment.

   I think what Tona was saying was that gun control was a good thing and that onc our 2nd amendment freedoms were taken away we could get back to more important things like praising the president.

   I for one and many more like minded people disagree with this sentiment and believe gun control is wrong not just due to the fact that I own several and use them for hunting and target practice, and in the service was trained to use them in the defence of myself and others (engineering people arent commited to ground warfare in the US Navy.)

   Gun control people are everywhere and yes if you look at gun violence (in the USA there were several thousand (~9k) for year 2007 and only about 100ish in UK which has more stict control laws to switzerland where everyone is a member of their milita and everyone is required to have guns (the evil assult rifles)(lol) and you find almost no gun violence there). You find that in a properly trained and equiped citizenship it is relatively free of violence. The converse to this is in Gaza where most of the people i have seen either are crying b/c they lacked the guns to defend themselfs from the terrorists( hamas members) there or they were chanting in the streets firing their guns into the air. This is the difference where everyone has guns to the extreme where only the bad guns have guns. If the good guys cant defend themselfs then the bad guys will triumph.

   Sorry this got off topic but most gun control people are from cities and have no clue what hunting is about out here in the country. My archery is just as good.. they going to take my bow away as well? how about the slingshot or just sling and take all the rocks from the whole country and cast them into the sea. Violence will not end just b/c good people want it to.
