Default Obama on gun control

I did search on his campaign document, Blueprint for Change. 60+ pages.

Words "gun" and "firearm" and "handgun" were not contained. Indicating he does not address gun control.

That's a good start for a democrat. Now he needs to make a promise that he won't institute new gun control. And I can think about voting for him.

I imagine he doesn't address it because it's settled Demo doctrine that guns are bad and the citizenry shouldn't be trusted with them.

He doesn't have a reason to address it right now. Can you see him vetoing a gun control bill though? I can't.

What if the gun bill called for mandatory fully automatic assault rifle ownership? What then? Are you still so cock-sure that Obama wouldn't veto a gun bill? Yeah.

Oh, no no no no NO my friend.

Check the gun-control policy of B. Hussein's home state. It's the worst, most controlling in the nation. And he wants to make it federal law. Say goodbye to any and all concealed weapons if that Uber-Lib gets into office (and say hello to soaring crime rates).

Also when Obama sends the Treasury Dept agents to your door asking for 50% of your wages, he doesn't want any resistance.

Obama doesn't address gun control on his website because his stance would hurt him in the election:

I hope he takes away all your guns.

I would vote for that in a heartbeat.
