OBAMA IS ON RECORD OPPOSING YOUR RIGHT TO DEFEND YOURSELF IN YOUR OWN HOME !!!!!!!!

As a state senator in Illinois, President Obama opposed legislation providing an exception to handgun restrictions if the weapon was used in the defense of one’s home.

Obama’s vote would have maintained the status quo, which made it a violation of municipal gun ban law to use a firearm to save your own life in your own home. But the bill was passed anyway without his support.

The vote is a sign of how committed Obama may be to strict gun control measures.

The Illinois vote is hardly ancient history, having occurred in 2004 as Obama was running for election to the U.S. Senate. In opposing the measure, Obama lined up well to the left of the mainstream, as the Illinois Senate included 32 Democrats to 26 Republicans but approved the bill by an overwhelming margin and subsequently overrode a veto by then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

Obama did not participate in the veto override, which occurred in November 2004, likely after Obama had resigned his state Senate seat in order to prepare for his new role in the U.S. Senate.

The Illinois legislation was passed after a man who shot a burglar in his home was fined $750 by his town for disobeying its handgun ban. The absurdity and injustice of the situation doesn’t seem to have made much of an impression on Obama.

Just eight years earlier, in 1996, Obama answered “Yes” to a survey question asking whether he would support state legislation to “ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns.” The Obama 2008 presidential campaign claimed the form had been filled out by an aide who mischaracterized Obama’s position, even though Obama’s handwriting was found on survey.

whirlie likes to dig up shit from the 90's ...

A week after Politico provided the questionnaire to the Obama campaign for comment, an aide called Monday night to say that Obama had said he did not fill out the form, and provided a contact for his campaign manager at the time, who said she filled it out. It includes first-person comments such as: “I have not previously been a candidate.”
It is very relevant today; why you would say it isn't is astounding, and speaks to your own ignorance.

And as CBJ7 has informed us before, the President NEVER has any say in the legislation Congress passes and submits to him for signature.
Nope....and Obama can't take actions unilaterally through executive powers, or use of the agencies and bureaus that he controls either.

Or use the bully pulpit, either. And the media completely ignores his legislative agenda.....

Gee, why you think the President is such a useless office, when presidential powers are so weak?

What does his record show as POTUS, DIPSHIT?

You think maybe we ought to get him out of there before anything happens? How would you do it? Maybe a march on Washington? Maybe a drone strike? Assassin's bullet? Maybe Rush could help...

Or are you just whining in your spare time, for a change, DIPSHIT OF THE YEAR?

LMAO @ CHICKENSHIT LITTLE!
The State Legislature of Wyoming thinks Obama wants extreme gun controls..........and based on the leftist views of Obama I would say they are smart to act preemptively.
Wyoming lawmakers have proposed a new bill that, if passed, would nullify any federal restrictions on guns, threatening to jail federal agents attempting to confiscate guns, ammunition magazines or ammunition.

The bill – HB0104 – states that “any federal law which attempts to ban a semi-automatic firearm or to limit the size of a magazine of a firearm or other limitation on firearms in this state shall be unenforceable in Wyoming.”

The bill is sponsored by eight Wyoming state representatives and two state senators. If passed, the bill would declare any federal gun regulation created on or after January 1, 2013 to be unenforceable within the state.

another "IF passed" whirlie moment

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn
The Wyoming action is proof of the point that many think Obama wants to grab guns; he has said he wanted to.......

We know he has voted against a citizen's right to defend themselves (and family) in their home with the use of a gun.

You aren't denying what Obama said are you CJ ?

Is there any doubt that years ago, you asked your Mommy to wipe your ass for you? I guess that means you're now on record for shitting your pants ... OK, maybe that's a bad example. You're still doing that.

You want to hold up history as evidence when you have fresh facts you could use because it supports your own paranoid bent.

This is why you're always wrong. You're not smart enough to manipulate the facts but too dumb to realize you ain't foolin nobody.

and remember, as goes Wyoming, so goes the nation!
Whirrly belongs to the flat earth society.

One more thing, DIPSHIT. Could you please use another few exclamation points in your headlines. I'll know to get into the basement before I read it next time. When was that Wyoming bill passed into law, BTW? Oh, that's right, it wasn't. Anybody want to bet it never reaches the floor for debate?

LMAO @ DIPSHIT OF THE YEAR!
Obama would confiscate guns in a second if he could get away with it; he will push for the most extreme gun control measures possible....

For you to think/say otherwise is just dumb.
