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 |
Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
