Obama and Gun Rights

President Obama is hiding behind the assassination attempt of Congresswoman Garbrielle Giffords. He will not disclose his opinions on Second Amendment rights out of "respect" for the near demise of Ms. Giffords.

Will the President's political calculation and cowardice know bounds?

He is one of the most regressive progressives this country has suffered. Woodrow Wilson expelled African Americans from the Washington Bureaucracy and jailed political dissidents who opposed the First World War.

President Obama has dished up the same scam-scum corruption which has soiled Chicago politics for decades, hiring unethical and questionable staffers to serve in executive departments.

President Obama is not a champion of the individual, though he has signed into law protection for gun owners to carry firearms into national parks. This is not far enough.

We need an executive who is not afraid to plan then pull the trigger, a leader who knows what he stands for and will stand up for it, in the face of heated opposition from the opposition of within his own party. To be silent on so core an issue as gun rights is unacceptable. Even the Supreme Court has made bold rulings clarifying the full extension of the Second Amendment to individuals, not just to state militias.
