Ignorance is Bliss

Obama seems proud of his elitist position on firearms. And it's a position based on confusing the voter. While gun owners waited for the Supreme Court's decision in the Heller case, Obama couldn't give us his opinion. He said he hadn't read any of the briefs filed in the case. Obama claimed he didn't take positions on pending cases. Too bad he forgot that he in fact signed on to an amicus brief on another matter before the Supreme Court.

After the Heller decision came down, Obama claimed the Court had sided with him. The Supreme Court decision struck down Washington, D.C.'s gun ban, and has opened the door to challenges across the country, including in Obama's home city of Chicago. If Obama truly agrees with the Supreme Court, why has he never done a thing to help Chicago residents who've been stripped of their Second Amendment rights?

Obama has stated that Right-to-Carry makes society more dangerous, despite overwhelming evidence that Right-to-Carry lowers crime rates. He's supported bans on handguns, bans on semi-automatic firearms, and bans on gun stores within five miles of a school or a park. And he seems pretty proud of those positions. Which leads me to believe when Obama claims to be pro Second Amendment, he's simply being hypocritical and not straight forward.
