He is for micro stamping ammunition. (which is proven to not work)
Restore voting rights to a few million criminals who were convicted of using a gun to commit a violent crime.
Ban the use of firearms for home defense. (Illinois is like that now) CCW permits are non existant.
He also wants to appoint to Supreme Court, justices who think like he does.

According to who? Where is all this coming from? The NRA? Do they back any of this up with solid facts and quotes? Of course not! That wouldn't be seedy!
C'mon man, I just cited a direct quote of what he said. Back up your claims.

Heller was just tried by the Supreme Court . The justices affirmed that 2A is an individual right. If Obama gets in he can appoint new justices and try to overturn the Heller decision.

I think there's WAY bigger things to fight right now than Heller, and he knows that.

I have news for ya. Creating new gun laws will not solve anything. States need to start enforcing the ones on the books now. There is an old adage that is very true; IF GUNS ARE OUTLAWED, ONLY OUTLAWS WILL HAVE GUNS.

The adage is a lie, only those with connections will have guns, not outlaws. Look what happened to them in the wild west, they got dead.

And socialism, REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH is one of the main things in this flawed government system. Where will he stop after taking profits from the oil companies ? maybe your 401K ???

You have a problem with him going after OPEC? That shocks me.
Social Security is already a wreck, hell, might as well screw up 401k's.
Take a long look at your avatar, McCain would love to see that burn.
My reality is this, we're screwed right now. Right wing presidents aren't doing it. We're in an epic debt. I'm looking forward, not at now.
The same things were said about Clinton as far as guns yet nothing ever actually happened, he didn't take away your guns, he passed a bunk republican created bill that made all the anti-gun people feel better about themselves and life went on as normal.
I'm tired of the same war monger idiots running the show. I don't want to think of more of this crap starting up and my friends or family or eventual children having to be drafted. I don't want to see people in office who couldn't give a damn about the environment and would rather pander to some multinational mining company than save the people they claim to have as 'family'.
2 more grunts died and 3 more were injured the other day. For what?
There comes a point where enough is enough.
