FACTS ARE STILL FACTS... ITS YOU ALL WHO WANT TO AVOID THEM.


Obama was being misleading when he denied that his handwriting had been on a document endorsing a state ban on the sale and possession of handguns in Illinois. Obama responded, "No, my writing wasn''t on that particular questionnaire. As I said, I have never favored an all-out ban on handguns."
Actually, Obama''s writing was on the 1996 document, which was filed when Obama was running for the Illinois state Senate. A Chicago nonprofit, Independent Voters of Illinois, had this question, and Obama took hard line:

35. Do you support state legislation to:
a. ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns? Yes.
b. ban assault weapons? Yes.
c. mandatory waiting periods and background checks? Yes.

Obama''s campaign said, "Sen. Obama didn''t fill out these state Senate questionnaires--a staffer did--and there are several answers that didn''t reflect his views then or now. He may have jotted some notes on the front page of the questionnaire, but some answers didn''t reflect his views."

The key to cutting trhe BS here is this..."If you can believe it, he also supports a ban on the shotguns and rifles that most of us use for hunting."

No, I can''t believe it...the NRA is using thinly veiled lies here. They NRA has no honor - same as John McCain.

The remarks by the NRA condeming Sen Obama are false. He is not a threat to gun ownership and never has been. The Second Amendment states all citizens have the right to bare arms and Sen Obama support this right. It''s unfortunate conservatives have to fabricate such fears and scare tactics because they favor another candidate. Enough! Be truthful and stick to the facts.

Facts are still facts.

Obama proposed a law to close all gun stores within a 5 mile radius of any school or park. I guess the kiddies stop by the local store and pickup their hunting rifles on the way home.

If you dont think that is a "backdoor" way to restrict gun ownership, I dont know what it is.

Should you live near one of those shops and would like to purchased a hunting rifle...where would you go?

I uswed to belong to the NRA when it was still a sportmans/target shooters advocacy group and not a political shill for gun corporations. Obama has already stated that he wasn''t interested in taking away your hunting guns - the NRA commericials are more republican scare tactics that treat the American sportsman as non-thinking imbeciles. As a hunter, you owe it to yourself to do a little investigating and find out what the real truth is...don''t believe the hogwash being spread by the NRA.

Its a fact that Obama proposed a law in the state of illinois that would have closed all gun stores within a 5 mile radius of any school or park. As I think of all the gun stores I know in the state of Virginia...EVERY ONE OF THOSE WOULD HAVE TO CLOSE.

Obama also said that he felt the DC gun ban "was constitutional", at least until the supreme court knocked it down. This was a law that banned the sale of handguns to ALL people, including law-abiding citizens. So either the supreme court or Obama was wrong.

Those are hard facts "not *** propaganda" that Obama (and his camp) are now trying avoid.

This is soooo right-wing typical. "Vote Democrat and they will tax your guns and then take them away." This is nothing but bull$**t propaganda to turn gun owners against the Democrats. I own a gun and I would never let smear campaigns like this one change my mind.
