Vote the way you believe will ensure the American constitution and the Bill of rights will be upheld.

Personally I would not have cared if Obama built an Islamic mosque in the white house yard for his own use. Take away or nullify the bill of rights, and specifically the second amendment, and that is a whole different ball game.

This title thread is still a flat out lie. I will ask the OP again, point me to any credible source that Obama is set to ban semi automatic weapons.
You are just second guessing what he may or may not do and present it as a fact.

Please review the posting by Infolurker on page 7

Then again recourse through the original link and and he has made it quite clear he intends to ban on the federal level.

It may not be a source you accept, but it is in fact a compilation of credited sources from many differing locations, and lists credible facts.

The voting histories and public statements stand.

BTW, I find the fact that "allowing citizens to carry concealed weapons" is even being asked to our elected representatives to be outrageous. My God, "allowing" a US citizen to exercise a Constitutional right!?!? Could you imagine the outrage if the question was "Do you favor allowing citizens to legally assemble in protest?" or "Do you favor allowing citizens to keep from being forced to incriminate themselves?" There would be chaos in the damn streets... but for some reason that 2nd amendment is the one so many politicians and leftists are all to happy to reach for when they run short of Charmin toilet paper...

After reading through this thread I thought I would clear up some misconceptions that Europeans and even some Americans have on how easy it is to buy a gun in the states.
here's the procedure,
You need a valid photo ID
You fill out a BATF form which asks a bunch of questions about your legal status and criminal history. (lieing on the form is a felony)
The gun dealer calls the F.B.I. with your information and they run a instant background check. After which the F.B.I. will tell the dealer that he can proceed with the sale or that you have been denied. They can also put a delay on the sale for 4 days if they want to investigate you further.

Reading some posts would lead one to believe that a 13 year old can walk into a hardware store and walk out with a machine gun.

The right to defend yourself and your family is the most basic of human rights. I truly feel sorry for the folks who have chosen to give up their liberty in exchange for an imagined security. I hope you never see the day when it all breaks down and the government is not there to "protect" you.
The wolves will be out in packs and the sheep will be slaughtered.
Thank God I live in a nation that still has a few sheepdogs around to chase away the wolves.

its the same old story welcome to Germany 1940 kiss your butt,s good bye; (wake up before its to late )
its time for all good women and men to here the call and stand up to these fools

Nobody can take away the guns from American people.

They can take away freedom of speech. But trust me.

They can't take away guns.


By banning the sale or transfer of weapons will be one step to outlawing all weapons.

I hope the American people recognize this.
