We've got to tighten up our gun laws. I've said before we should have a much tougher background check system, one that's much more effective and make sure there aren't loopholes out there like the gun show loophole.

Laws alone can't stop violence: Obama
Chicago Sun-Times
[I'm probably just bitterly clinging to my guns, but it sure doesn't sound to me like Mr. Obama thinks of the 2nd Amendment as right. After all, I don't hear him talking about background checks for books and the "book show loophole". There is other stuff in the same article that makes it very, very clear where he stands on the gun issue. I'm going to remain very bitter about him being a public servant instead of behind bars as a felon.--Joe]
