McCain voted against the AWB two times. McCain supported Heller in DC v. Heller.
McCain appears more pro-gun than Bush in these regards.
Obama's website says he wishes to ban ALL semi-automatic guns, and have a FEDERAL BAN on concealed carry.
BTR, that sums it up nicely. McCain isnt our ideal candidate by a longshot (that would be Ron Paul), but hes still waaaaaay better than Obama.
Either McCain or Obama will need willing accomplices in the Congress.
And with a majority of Democrats now in the Senate and Congress, Obama is the only one with the willing accomplices.
It matters in who they stuff the Supreme Court with. I'd rather not have flaming leftists, thanks.
A critical point. Even if folks arent able to discern the very sizable differences between Obama and McCain on RKBA, they should be able to get the matter of Supreme Court justices.
They just might learn that by running as a liberal in the GOP, it's a one way ticket to last place. And that is a good lesson to teach the Republican Party.
Your golden opportunity to make that point was in the Primaries. In the general election youre just cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Barry is a Marxist, but he's also a crappy politician. He can't get things done the way McCain can.
Obama has the House and Senate on his side, plus the liberalMedia which will stir up the less sophisticated citizens with a propaganda barrage.
There's already a perception on both sides of the aisle that gun bans are a loser of an issue, because the gun owner organizations can throw a lot of votes and lobbying help into elections. So for the most part, playing with the gun laws is not on the agenda.
It certainly
is on the Dems' agenda. Im seeing a lot of polls and news stories lately where the liberalMedia is either fishing for public sentiment or trying to nudge it. The Democrat politicians are not as vocal about it, because theyre trying to fly under the radar on that issue. All will change if Obama gets elected.
