Your link goes to an *oops we can't seen to find that page* message.

This is just some guy from the NRA blowing smoke out of his rear cleansing device.

There is nothing in the article from Obama.

I don't want to lose the 2nd, but this guy is stating his opinion based on nothing.

Meh I wouldnt worry anyway, Obama vowed to do a lot of things that never happened.

Come on, it's not that bad. Australia, has had a ban on guns since the 90's (Citizens are allowed, however to get a gun liscense to own a pistol), every other weapon is illegal though. Just like i always say, Australia can be considered as the 'testing ground' as we get everything first, then roughly 5-13 years later, it comes into play in other countries.

Well, good luck with that. He'll never get it done with a Republican Congress. And if he somehow tried, every state in the South would have a bill to ignore it within 24 hours.

I don't like living south of the Mason-Dixon line sometimes, but at least I know I can always depend upon these folks to defend the 2nd amendment.

Yeah right...this will NEVER happen.

I'd like to see them try and disarm 200,000,000 Americans

A very good point to remember.

The media puts all the spotlight on the presidential race, while hoping we forget the congressional race.

YOU VOTE FOR CONGRESS IS AS IMPORTANT AS YOUR VOTE FOR PRESIDENT!!!

Espcieally the senate, where the budgets are controlled.

Let's see....World War Two....our Marines had to land on Guadalcanal to save Australia from the then coming Japanese invasion.

Oh, well....more Road Warrior movies coming.

Propaganda..

Where did Obama explicitly vow to ban guns?

can somebody show me a link?

From what I see this NRA official believes obama will outlaw guns.

That is NOT the same thing.

ETA: Your title is VERY misleading.

I'm sorry, is there a problem with having no guns? Less bullets = less death and destruction.

I notice he doesn't say "civilian guns"...that means even the police won't have guns.

Time to take a leaf from Iran and train some Ninjutsu specialists!

You're right. I called and asked him.

Me: "Hey Obama, what are you gonna do with everyone's guns when you take them away"

Obama: "Duh, kill old people brah"

I don't like Obama, but this stuff makes people who oppose him look stupid, and I don't want to look like chall clowns. He isn't going to take guns away, it's a fringe story targeting a fringe argument to make you guys more prone to speak out against him in hopes in effects the vote.

AKA propaganda.

In the last few months, I have been contacted by the NRA via phone no less than three times. The conversation always goes like this:

"Hello?"
"This is _____ with the NRA. may I speak with _____?"
"Speaking."
"Are you aware that [insert end of world scenario here] is being debated in Congress?"
"No, I was not. Can you give me a link to the text of the bill?"
"Oh... I will have to look that up, sir... but..."
"I'll hold."
"Oh... OK."
[on hold for a few minutes]
"Here is the site sir: [NRA web page]"
"Hmmm... OK... one moment while I read it."
[I read the page]
"It doesn't give me any info on the bill. It just says what you just said. Can you at least give me the bill number?"
"Oh... I don't have that information..."
"Can you email it to me when you get it?"
"Certainly sir! While I am looking that up for you, would you like to prevent [end of world scenario] with a donation to the NRA?"



Needless to say, I now place little faith in what anyone connected with the NRA says. I am still waiting on those emails... the only ones i got were simply more of the same, begging for donations while making outlandish and unsubstantiated accusations.

I have no doubt Obama would be tickled pink to outlaw guns in America, but not because the NRA said so.

Another boogie man for the fear driven right wing -- feeds right into the authoritarian personality. These guys are too easy to manipulate.

Piss off with the American hero thing. The Japanese viewed the Americans as cowards as they wouldn't fight and would just hide. Australia saved itself, and your country came in at the last minute in the Pacific and didn't do much besides the island campaigns.
