Obama called for a laundry list of gun control

Posted by noddy On March - 8 - 2009

I’ll give the mainstream media this: They’re consistent. They’re consistently ignoring Barack Obama’s statements that he “supports” the Second Amendment, and they’re also consistently ignoring Senator Obama’s repeated calls for the kind of gun control that would spell the end of the Second Amendment as we know it. 

Back in 1999, Obama called for a laundry list of gun control, including a 500 percent increase in taxes on firearms and ammunition. He called for bans of affordable handguns. He called for mandated “smart gun” technology. He demanded that FFLs not be allowed to maintain their business within five miles of a school or a park. In short, he wanted to regulate the Second Amendment out of existence. 

To my knowledge, not one reporter has asked Obama about the positions he took back then. Nor have they asked him about the position he’s taking now, “supporting” the Second Amendment in speeches while refusing to sign on to the congressional amicus brief opposing the District of Columbia’s gun ban. Fifty-five of his fellow senators signed on to that brief, but Obama still pretends the issue is about “local control,” not constitutional rights. 

When the mainstream media refuses to ask a presidential frontrunner about his position on an issue, you can’t help but wonder why. When the issue is the Second Amendment, it can’t be because the press doesn’t like what Obama has to say. Maybe it’s just that they don’t want you to hear it.
