Quote of the day–Danville Editorial Board

While the president hasn’t proposed any specific gun control legislation, it’s also true that if every statement he’s ever made, every bill he’s ever supported and every position he’s ever taken during his entire political career were taken as a whole and proposed as legislation — which is not being done — then the gun owners would have something to fear.

But that’s not happening, for a couple of reasons. The Democrats have focused their attention on the economy. Also, Obama has moderated his views on these issues over the years. As a lawyer by training, he appears to understand the Second Amendment’s place in law, not as something to pay lip service to, but as one of the fundamental rights all Americans enjoy.

Danville Editorial Board
September 28, 2009
Worst kind of economic stimulus
[I agree President Obama has not been on the offense against gun owners since he took office. But before believing he has moderated his views on these issues I’m going to need some proof. Directing the DOJ to arrest and prosecute Federal, State, and local officials for violation of 18 USC 242 in regards to infringement of the 2nd Amendment would be a good start. Instead his cabinet is filled with people opposed to allowing citizens to exercise a specific enumerated right. I keep expecting him to “turn the dogs loose” on us.–Joe]

  1. At best, the Danville Editorial Board is naive. At worst, they have fallen for Obama’s propaganda. In either case, they do a disservice to their readers.

  2. So just because he has not made a move against law-abiding gun owners (yet), I should simply ignore his entire history of taking stance after stance after stance against the Second Amendment, self-defense, and individual rights as a whole?

    Sorry, oh ye Editorial Board writers… I have a functioning brain which, among other things, keeps me from doing things that inordinately stupid.

  3. As a lawyer by training, he appears to understand the Second Amendment’s place in law, not as something to pay lip service to, but as one of the fundamental rights all Americans enjoy.

    How can someone honestly say that with a straight face?

  4. No gun control legislation, yet . . . Where did HR 45 come from? A Black Panther Party member from BHO’s Chicago district if I’m not mistaken.
