From Barack Obama campaign spokesperson Jen Psaki:
Barack Obama believes the Second Amendment creates an individual right, and he greatly respects the constitutional right of Americans to bear arms. He also believes that the Constitution permits state and local governments to adopt reasonable and common-sense gun-safety measures.
This was their answer in regards to the question of why Barack Obama, if he’s such a supporter of the second amendment, didn’t sign onto the Congressional brief with 55 other colleagues asking the Supreme Court to find the DC gun ban violates the second amendment. We can only assume that DC’s gun laws are “reasonable” and “common sense” in the senator’s eyes.
Obama speak with forked tongue!
The 2A “creates” an idividual right?
Silly me. I thought the 2A protected a pre-existing right.
Me so stupid.
Me hope SCOTUS not dumb like kaveman.
there’s no “absolutes” in a far-lefty’s world…
