		    <title>Patriot Commented on AFL-CIO Joins The Gun Wars With Targeted Mail Blitz Defending Obama On Gun Rights by Greg Sargent</title>

		        <![CDATA[<p>Some MAJOR differences between Obama and McCain on their support of the Second Amendment with the fact of all the gun control proposals Obama has supported in the past aside:</p>

<p>Earlier this year, Obama said that the DC gun ban was constitutional.  He passed up an opportunity to sign on to the amicus brief that 55 senators did that supported the individual right of the Second Amendment.  McCain did sign on to that. After the DC gun ban was ruled unconstitutional, Obama stated he agreed with the Supreme Court ruling.</p>

<p>He stated he would nominate justices to the Supreme Court in the mold of the liberal justices who ruled that the Second Amendment might be an individual right, but a complete ban on an entire class of guns is not an infringement.  Like saying the First Amendment only covers books, not magazines.  These are also the justices that ruled the opposite way of the decision that he says he supports and that he says supports his own belief.  McCain said he would nominate justices in the mold of those that supported a strong interpretation of the Second Amendment and this time around were in the majority.</p>

<p>Obama voted for a massive increase in tax on ammunition, I think it was 500%.  Who needs to take people's guns when you can tax the ammo so much that only rich people can afford to shoot?  McCain did not vote for this.</p>

<p>Obama supports a new Assault Weapons ban that would be much more expansive than the 1994 one and would also include some guns that are normally referred to as sporting purpose guns.  McCain does not.</p>

<p>And with all the gun control laws he supported while he was in the Illinois legislature, you just can't take a chance that he would support some of the same measures at the federal level and that he's just not advertising it.  If as an Illinois state legislator he supported the Second Amendment rights of the citizens of Illinois by supporting massive restrictions that never proved to be effective or fruitful, how can we expect him to show any better judgement as president?</p>]]>
