Barack Obama's position on gun control has many folks concerned.
The Second Amendment reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a Free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
In 1994, Bill Clinton imposed a ban on several types of military-style automatic rifles and high-capacity magazines; however, the ban was allowed to lapse in 2004. According to CNN.com, Barack Obama has proposed restoring the ban and requiring background checks for buyers at gun shows along with other "common sense measures." |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that `if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.' It is a very serious consideration...that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." --Samuel Adams, speech in Boston, 1771 |
