Please explain to me what gun rights have been "violated" or changed since Obama took office?

I'm sorry, but the paranoia over Dem/Obama and anti-gun legislation is ridiculously over hyped nonsense.

Gun rights should be so low on the list of priorities for this coming election that you should have to sift through multiple pages of other issues to even find it.

Obama has not gone after gun rights as I remember...he has made a few statements about it and thats enough to get pro gun people ranting and raving...the mere mention sets them off....Im pro gun myself....Guns are here to stay...the gun war is over the pro gun crowd won. No One could take guns anymore...they may be able to restrict the sale of a very few like assault rifles and increase taxs on guns or ammo...and restrict concealed carry permits state to state...but as I see it thats the extent of it....I doubt you will ever see a democrat run again on gun control
 
Obama. Registered Virginia voter. I get my absentee ballot in the mail on Sept 22 and I can't wait!
 
Romney is a hypocrite. He will say anything to get elected.

Trickle down economics is just a theory that has been tested and it does not work. The job creators do not take their lower taxes and hire tons of new people, reducing unemployment; they save it in their portfolios or buy more yachts.

So do we cut taxes or raise spending to balance the budget?

Paul Ryan cuts spending everywhere but the defense budget. Ex. jets and jet fuel, wars, talk about wasted money. Trust me we have enough equipment.

Romney is a liar

citizens united is the biggest mistake of our US supreme court. It allows corporations to anonymously make unlimited campaign donations. Furthermore Romney is a filthy rich guy. And I do not fault him for that. But his filthy rich buddies secretly buying him this election by financing the completely false campaign adds that people believe about Obama. Citizens united=corruption. Romney will be mr special interest if elected... the brother oil tycoons inherited their wealth they didn't build it, Sheldon Adleson doesn't care about you!

Even Wolf Blitzer called their latest campaign add out for being completely untrue. Obama did not reduce the work requirement of welfare!

To a guy in Wyoming they are not low on the totem pole. Also, mark my words, with the media sensationalizing every shooting that seems a little strange, gun laws will be a huge issue in President Obama's second four (if he wins).

I think the fear-mongering koolaid paranoia of the right has worked wonders on you.

The bottom line is simple.

Obama has been the ABSOLUTE least threatening democratic president towards gun control of any kind. Period.

As I said in my post, mark my words. BTW, the right has said nothing of President Obama trying to enact gun control because he has denied that he will. That is just me speculating. I guess I'm not allowed to speculate

Like others can speculate that Romney will increase taxes for all with the exception of the uber-upperclass?

Like others can speculate that 9-11 was an inside job orchestrated by the American government?

Like some speculated that Iraq was actually part of the "war on terror"?

Like others can speculate that Iran will use nuclear weapons (once they build them) against Israel?

You can also "speculate" that your spouse is cheating on you.

Should you act on baseless speculation?

No, I have no circumstancial evidence to support that.

Speculation can be made off of evidence that may not support the speculation directly, but does infer that someone may make that decision. For instance, President Obama is a liberal. Liberals generally support stricter gun laws. Therefore, I speculated. Also, he makes comments such as these. Obama calls for strengthening gun rules, Reid says no time for debate | Fox News Do me a favor, keep my wife out of discussions. Its not necessary. That is simply your attempt to make this some sort of personal attack fest.

the Heller decision was 5-4. So was McDonald. How did Obama's supreme court pick who was part of McDonald Vote?
 
After hearing Paul Ryan's lie on national TV last night I have decided that I will most definately NOT be voting for Romney/Ryan.
 
Romney/Ryan

They have to win.

LOL, that is about as revealing as Joe Biden saying the same thing.

Given Obama has lied out of his ass for four years-excuse me if I find your comments disingenuous

Once again, I put forth the challenge to anyone out there. Please show me one deliberate lie Obama has ever said as POTUS. Just one!

Just to ensure we are on the same wavelength, are we talking campaign promises or promises made as POTUS then broken as POTUS?

I'm not a Democrat, but probably Obama. A vote for anyone else won't help put the policies I advocate for in place.

So is that picture of what will happen if we vote for that guy or is he just into S&M? I'm betting on the former.
