NRA Raises $200 Million as Gun Lobby Toasters Burn Logo on Bread

21. I partially agree...

While Obama has not done anything that is particularly harmful wih regard to 2A, he really hasn't done anything that can be seen as ardently supportive either. The few bills that he has signed into law that were favorable to gun owners, were only signed because they were parts of legislation that he very much wanted passed. Had those same issues arisen as lone pieces of legislation, I have no doubt that he would not have signed them. His is not the same as being supportive of an issue, it is simply a matter of making concessions.

Obama's past record on 2A Will be difficult to overcome wih anything short of real support, rather than token gestures. I think there is little doubt that saying things like "we're working, ya know, under the radar" are far more damaging to him than the modest forward steps he has taken on this issue.

Regardless of what he does politically, it would take a lot of convincing to get me to believe that he truly supports the individual right stance. I do appreciate that, so far, he has not put what I believe are his personal views before what is now a supreme court ruling, and this a matter of law. We will see what the coming term holds. I would prefer for him to be a vocal supporter of the 2A, but will settle for him remaining silent on the issue.
