Barack Obama and gun rights: When is "Support" Not Support?

By Ken Hanson, Esq.

Barak Obama continues his attempt to be all things to all people by claiming in an Associated Press interview that he supports the individual right to bear firearms. The interview was conducted in the immediate aftermath of the Northern Illinois shootings.

What is astounding to me is that the reporter, Nedra Pickler, presents that pro-gun position as the premise of the story (Headline: "Obama Supports Individual Gun Rights"), yet the entire story talks about Obama's support for gun control measures.

Time to close the “Public Safety Loophole”

By Tim Inwood

In April 2007 we saw the worst school shooting in American history. Students were lined up against the wall and shot to death like cattle at Virginia Tech. These scholars stood meekly and could do nothing to fight back, as school policy had disarmed them and for obeying this idiotic rule they died.

Ten months later, it seems bureaucrats and policy makers around the country have learned nothing from that tragedy or others like it. In recent months we have seen mass shootings at malls, churches, stores and schools, all over the United States. On Valentine’s Day, we saw the fourth school shooting in a week take place at Northern Illinois University, where a deranged man using a shotgun and two handguns shot over 15 people and killed seven.

All of these incidents have one thing in common. They took place in mandated “Gun Free Zones” where the victims were disarmed by law.
