President Obama, same-sex marriage and assault weapons

Last edited Tue Jul 24, 2012, 01:37 PM - Edit history (1)

When President Obama spoke out for same-sex marriage, public opinion shifted strongly to his point of view.

He should talk about bringing back the Assault Weapons Ban.

He's going to have a hard enough time winning as it is. Doing this would assure his loss. Bad idea.

the constitution is a farce...written over 250 years ago...do we need people caring assault weapons???

the NRA cries ....dont' take my freedom away...LAME

Look around the world London, Amsterdam etc...have they lost their freedom???

I'm sure John Adams would not approve a AK 47 shooting 15 round a second...

hey Democrats...have some balls and step up to the lobbyist and the right and do something...

take our rights....we must lay on the machine.

Where did the Brady Bill go? Last I knew the Brady Bill was enacted with the support of the NRA and is still in existence.

Your talking about the AWB, which would guarantee the exile to the wilderness of any party pushing for it.
