Well, he you talked to him at the time and discussed it with and seemingly approved of it, then I would say that the two of you should be placed up against a wall at the wrong end of a firing squad. He's not just related to these people, he's consulted with the leader of the Muslim faction and founded a school in the area. Nice whitewash attempt though. Read the rest of the story.
is it true barack hussein obama wants to end ccw nation wide?

Those typically relate to import restrictions, as you recognized. It's more difficult to regulate weapons manufactured since the sporting purpose provision doesn't relate to domestic firearms, except for shotguns. Of course, ATFE could be directed to find that any shotgun holding more than 5 rounds is not suitable for sporting purposes.
Even if Heller comes back with an individual rights recognition of the 2nd Amendment, unless the Court specifically states that infringement means prohibiting the possession and carrying of a weapon, this approach doesn't affect the right to own a gun, but only the carrying of said weapon.

It says more about you than it does about him.

Thanks Marko, and may I point out that he's not a communist either. I've been trading emails with one of my cousins who is a big Obama supporter, and gun control has been a big theme in my anti-Obama arguments. But my cousin is very well informed, and I wouldn't get far if I simply sent him rumors and gossip.
Oboma is a smart and very charismatic guy. I think he'd be a pretty horrible president so I'll vote for McCain. But after 16 years of Clinton/Bush hatred I'll respect whomever gets elected.

Here's something to think about.....
Competent faces can swing voters, researchers say

Who will be the next prime minister of Canada, or the next president of the United States?
According to a study by Princeton University researchers, choosing a leader can all come down to voters' quick glances of the candidates.
Voters form snap judgments of the competency of a candidate based on his or her facial features, Charles Ballew and Alexander Todorov wrote in the latest issue of the periodical Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America.
The researchers asked test subjects to judge competency after viewing each candidate's photo. Subjects were shown the photos for three durations: 100 milliseconds, 250 milliseconds and an unlimited amount of time.
"Predictions were as accurate after a 100-ms exposure to the faces of the winner and the runner-up as exposure after 250 ms and unlimited time exposure," the duo wrote. "The findings suggest that rapid, unreflective judgments of competence from faces can affect voting decisions."
*snip*
The predictions were improved when issues such as gender and ethnicity were factored out, the report said. Of the 55 gubernatorial races where the candidates were the same gender and ethnicity, the correct predictions improved slightly to 69 per cent.
Groups of between 64 and 120 students at Princeton, in New Jersey, were used in the studies.
The researchers said their study showed that while a competent face may not be the main reason a political candidate gets elected, it is a key factor.
"Competent-looking incumbents may deter undecided voters, who have a mild preference for challengers, from voting for the challenger," they wrote.
"Our findings suggest that, in many cases, the effects of appearance on voting decisions may be subtle and not easily recognized by voters."

That's what he did say he would do. I guess then we'll all be "packing" our guns western style, like John Wayne.

How about a communist mass murdering dictator elimination bill. Then we get to debate where the line between communism and freedom lies. Just a thought.
The second largest pro-gun organization in America is called "Gun Owners of America"... www.gunowners.org . They gave McCain a grade of "F" in regard to his record on the 2nd amendment (right to bare arms).
Other positions he has voiced or taken...
McCain favors outlawing cheaply made handguns called Saturday night specials, and favors mandating safety locks on certain guns. He said he is intrigued by new technology that electronically identifies a person handling a gun, allowing only the owner to fire it. McCain rallied Senate Republicans behind a Democratic measure requiring background checks at gun shows.

McCain said he was open to voting for an assault weapon ban, depending on the details.

Just my opinion, but GOA has zero credibility with me. I (and many other veterans) stopped giving them money when they jumped the shark with the "Veterans Disarmament Act" BS.
And yet he voted NO when given the opportunity, didn't he?
I love newbies spreading disinformation...Obama fan?
