Nothing has done more to boost activity among gun-rights advocates — and the business of gun builders and retailers — than the 2008 election of Barack Obama. Following his 2008 campaign comments that people in rural areas “cling to their guns and religion,” gun advocates have used the comment as a foil in promoting their cause.
Yet, compared to the Clinton administration’s passage of the Brady Bill, the Obama presidency has done little in the way of advancing gun control legislation. Bans on certain types of weaponry that expired under President Bush in 2004 have not been resurrected.

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Gentlemen may cry, 'peace, peace'—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! Is life so precious, or peace so dear, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! — Patrick Henry to the Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775. |
