self-defense

For those who know Warren Zevon, well the next line in the song is about what is going to happen to Senator Obama

A 5-4 decision of the Supreme Court has restated the "right to keep and bear arms" clause of the Second Amendment in the Heller case.   http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080626/ap_on_go_su_co/scotus_guns

Obama is trying to explain away his prior support for the D.C. gun ban as being "inartful". Well artful dodger, you can't outrun your voting record in Illinois.

The NRA points out that as an Illinois State Senator Obama voted to uphold local gun bans and criminalize the use of handguns for personal self-defense  http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Federal/Read.aspx?id=3991 ( Illinois Senate, March 25, 2004 SB 2165, vote 20.)

And is Senator Obama going to throw his webmaster under the bus as "inartful" "REALITY: OBAMA HAS CONSISTENTLY SUPPORTED COMMON SENSE GUN CONTROL  .."http://www.barackobama.com/factcheck/2007/12/11/fact_check_no_news_in_obamas_c.php

And you know who agrees with this assessment----that reliable member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy---CBS News!  

Obama regularly supported gun-control measures, including a ban on semiautomatic "assault weapons" and a limit on handgun purchases to one a month.

He also opposed letting people use a self-defense argument if charged with violating local handgun bans by using weapons in their homes. The bill was a reaction to a Chicago-area man who, after shooting an intruder, was charged with a handgun violation.

Supporters framed the issue as a fundamental question of whether homeowners have the right to protect themselves.

Obama may be an Ivy League lawyer, and he is awash in money, but he is going to find that on guns, as ole' Warren said ...the "Sh-t has hit the fan" when he tries and pretend he really thinks Americans have the right to defend themselves in their own homes.

Because he never believed it before.
