Ok folks..
First off: I'm a gun loving, Obama voting Democrat.
Second:This isn't the usual "diary" per se, but I felt that I should draw your attention to yet more SMEAR tactics being used against Obama by Fox and NBC in Florida. According to both news programs gun sales are on the rise. According to NBC and FOX it's not because of POLICE BUDGET CUTS and RISING CRIME due to the POOR ECONOMY. No, it's because of a scary well educated black man possibly becoming President.

Regarding a Constitutional right to guns, Obama says:
Obama, "Sportsmen": Barack Obama believes the Second Amendment creates an individual right, and he respects the constitutional rights of Americans to bear arms. He will protect the rights of hunters and other law-abiding Americans to purchase, own, transport, and use guns.
On the issue of urban policy, Obama says he favors "commonsense measures" to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and children, and that he would bring back the expired "assault weapon" ban and make it permanent:
Obama, "Urban Policy": Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals who shouldn't have them. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets.
