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*
Poster Comment: Did you know that it was written for *"..sportsman's rights.."*? Saint Barack: the final nail in the coffin of America.

As though without him we'd be sitting pretty? Between the 3, we're simply choosing the last rites we prefer at the nation's funeral, and to his credit, Obama is a good speaker and could do a good job there.
obama offers nothing. in fact, the worst with his 2A stance.
Obama has energized the Democratic base. I agree with you about his 2A stance. And as a pro-lifer I hate his abortion stance. But McCain thinks bombing babies, children and pregnant women is just fine. I keep comparing him to Hillary and McCain. Of course, he will never be a Ron Paul. But I do not believe he has the lobbyists that the other two have. Also, he has a date to get out of Iraq and has promised to restore habeas corpus. The other two have not. Obama was against the Iraq war before it started, he attacked Perle, Wolfowitz and Rove by name in that 2002 speech. He is far, far from perfect, but stands out against Hillary and McCain (especially McCain).
...but continued to support funding for it. No he's just "For the troops". RIIIIGHT. LOLOLAY
As has been pointed out, by me and others, it is NOT unreasonable to support the troops once they have been deployed and during the occupation. Would you rather they starve, be w/o equipment, ammo, water? Obama has given a firm date to get them out of Iraq, Hillary has not. And McCain wants 100 years of war.
Do you even know anything that you talk about????

I guess you would have preferred our troops not have everything they need for protection while in Iraq. Obama defends votes in favor of Iraq funding ---------------------------------------------------------- And on torture and Gitmo and habeas corpus, Barack Obama: In the five years that the President's system of military tribunals has existed, not one terrorist has been tried. Not one has been convicted. And in the end, the Supreme Court of the United found the whole thing unconstitutional, which is why we're here today. We could have fixed all of this in a way that allows us to detain and interrogate and try suspected terrorists while still protecting the accidentally accused from spending their lives locked away in Guantanamo Bay. Easily. This was not an either-or question. * Instead of allowing this President - or any President - to decide what does and does not constitute torture, we could have left the definition up to our own laws and to the Geneva Conventions, as we would have if we passed the bill that the Armed Services committee originally offered. * Instead of detainees arriving at Guantanamo and facing a Combatant Status Review Tribunal that allows them no real chance to prove their innocence with evidence or a lawyer, we could have developed a real military system of justice that would sort out the suspected terrorists from the accidentally accused. * And instead of not just suspending, but eliminating, the right of habeas corpus - the seven century-old right of individuals to challenge the terms of their own detention, we could have given the accused one chance - one single chance - to ask the government why they are being held and what they are being charged with. --------------------------------------------------------------------

"I have been very clear even as a candidate that, once we were in, that we were going to have some responsibility to make it work as best we could, and more importantly that our troops had the best resources they needed to get home safely," Obama, an Illinois Democrat, told reporters in a conference call. "So I don't think there is any contradiction there."
