So much of what Obama has stated and then retracted has been chalked up to 'nuance.' His desire to sit at the negotiating table with rogue nations and terrorists brought a firestorm of criticism not only from John McCain but also from his Democratic colleagues during the campaign.
Obama characterized the whole thing as a misunderstanding of his 'nuanced' stance on foreign policy.
Why, then, should gunowners take any comfort in Obama's assurances that he will 'keep his word' when he says he supports an individual right to own guns? His words may be nuanced, but his actions speak very clearly. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
