Obama and guns

[Gary Stevens]

Obama was in Pennsylvania yesterday and said the following:





“If you’ve got a gun in your house, I’m not taking it,’’ Obama said. But the Illinois senator could still see skeptics in the crowd, particularly on the faces of several men at the back of the room.

So he tried again. “Even if I want to take them away, I don’t have the votes in Congress,’’ he said. “This can’t be the reason not to vote for me. Can everyone hear me in the back? I see a couple of sportsmen back there. I’m not going to take away your guns.’’


Considering that the pundits believe that the Democrats may pick up enough seats in both the House and Senate to pass any law they want, those words have great importance.
