Gun+Control+-+Obama

="We've got to enforce the gun laws that are on the books. We've got to make sure that unscrupulous gun dealers aren't loading up vans and dumping guns in our communities, because we know they're not made in our communities."=



Obama voted for a bill that prosecuted any adult for firing a gun on or near school grounds. He also supported a ban on the making and selling of handguns. He sponsered a bill that limited buying hand guns up to once per month. He supports several gun control measures including not being able to buy firearms at gun shows and re-establishing a ban on assault weapons.

//"I believe in keeping guns out of our inner cities, and that our leaders must say so in the face of the gun manfuacturer's lobby. But I also believe that when a gangbanger shoots indiscriminately into a crowd because he feels someone disrespected him, we have a problem of morality. Not only do we need to punish thatman for his crime, but we need to acknowledge that there's a hole in his heart, one that government programs alone may not be able to repair."//
