While doing some research, I ran across
this 2009 'fact check' from Media Matters for America:
And rest assured, you're not the only "firm believer" in the 2nd Amendment. I found a video of President Obama promising "I
believe in the Second Amendment. I believe in people's lawful right to bear
arms. I will not take your shotgun away. I will not take your rifle away. I
won't take your handgun away."
Watch it yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBHkMADXnOw
So, there you have it: . . . . Obama's not taking away our guns.
As the last couple months have
made clear, Obama never meant a word of that campaign statement. Like most progressives, he strongly opposes the right of self-defense. MMfA's 'fact check' was just an exercise in self-delusion.
