Dear Friend,

Thank you for contacting me about gun laws and the Second Amendment. I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue. Americans broadly agree that guns must be kept from those who may pose a threat, and that the rights of legitimate hunters and sportsmen should be protected.

We must work to ensure that guns do not fall into the hands of criminals or the mentally ill through an effective background check system. We also have to strike a reasonable balance between public safety and sportsmen's rights.

I will continue to work for effective gun laws, including reinstatement of the assault weapons ban that the last Congress allowed to expire, and effective law enforcement. I will also speak out against the culture of violence that traps so many of our young people.

Thank you again for contacting me on this important issue.

Sincerely,

Barack Obama*

Keep in mind that if the sporting use of firearms is the only legit use for them (like Cheney's high dollar 28 ga Perazzi shotgun for quail and lawyers) then they can be broken down and locked up so as to render them useless for defense. (or other unmentionable nefariousness like "keeping govt in check")

Even now as the SCOTUS is hearing the case about the DC handgun ban the district's lawyers are countering claims that residents are defenseless with the fact that long guns are permitted in the district. What they aren't saying is the law requires those guns to be disassembled and stored and any resident who uses a long gun to shoot an intruder is automatically guilty of the crime of having the firearm operable, which is illegal in the district.

Also, if the Feds abolish hunting on federal land and cut funding through Pittman-Robertson to the states' fish and game departments, hunting will collapse and with it the "legit need" for most personal firearms. (Trap, skeet and sporting clays wouldn't be enough reason to keep firearms at home, but rich folks could keep them in gun clubs)

The state fish and game departments are in real trouble now because of two things. Unseasonably warm winters have greatly reduced the revenues from the sale of Gore Tex and other outdoor goods that are subject to the Pittman Robertson excise tax, so the states are already receiving a reduced share of federal matching funds from this earmarked tax.

And, the economy is so bad that many folks are hunting less or not at all and the sale of licenses is falling off.

The states operate many projects over several budget cycles, including research and maintaining and acquiring (through purchase or lease) new hunting areas. The funding crisis will begin to hurt all wildlife as areas are overtaken with woody growth because there's no money for helicopter or radiarc spraying of ROUNDUP to beat back the fast growing nuisance plants. And without subsidies many landowners and farmers may fail to leave "no spray zones" so quail and other ground nesting game can have lots of yummy insects to feed their young.

In short, hunting may soon cease altogether, so we'd better not let the bastards link our "rights" to this fickle premise for "legit ownership of firearms."
