Obama, gun control
TalkLeft: “Obama would probably find DC gun ban constitutional”
At Wednesday’s debate, Barack Obama wouldn’t say what his position is on the DC law banning handguns. He dodged, saying he wasn’t familiar with the facts of the case.
Of course, in November, his campaign told the Chicago Tribune he supporteed the ban. (Chicago Tribune November 20, 2007.) ~talkleft.com
Also linked to post is this AP story about Obama’s history of gun control efforts:
Barack Obama’s presidential campaign has worked to assure uneasy gun owners that he believes the Constitution protects their rights and that he doesn’t want to take away their guns.
But before he became a national political figure, he sat on the board of a Chicago-based foundation that doled out at least nine grants totaling nearly $2.7 million to groups that advocated the opposite positions.
The foundation funded legal scholarship advancing the theory that the Second Amendment does not protect individual gun owners’ rights, as well as two groups that advocated handgun bans. And it paid to support a book called “Every Handgun Is Aimed at You: The Case for Banning Handguns.” ~news.yahoo.com
