Taking the Obaminable One at his word. That’s right. I will watch you like a hawk Mr. Obama.
Obama: “. . .Take Me at My Word.”
President-elect Obama says that legal gun owners have nothing to fear. From the Chicago Sun-Times:
As gun sales shoot up around the country, President-elect Barack Obama said Sunday that gun-owning Americans do not need to rush out and stock up before he is sworn in next month.
“I believe in common-sense gun safety laws, and I believe in the second amendment,” Obama said at a news conference. “Lawful gun owners have nothing to fear. I said that throughout the campaign. I haven’t indicated anything different during the transition. I think people can take me at my word.”
Ah, Barack, we are taking you at your word. During the campaign you clearly stated that you would bring back the phony “assault weapons” ban. That was Bill Clinton’s legislation that prohibited the sale of some of the most popular sporting rifles being sold. That ban was based upon cosmetic features such as having a pistol grip or a folding stock. Operationally, these banned rifles functioned the same as any other semi-automatics.
