He supported the full gun ban that DC had. That statement you posted did nothing to change that or go against what he wanted to do and his restrictions. Only thing going round and around is your attempt to justify your opinion as being fact. Which won't happen, because you were point blank, wrong.

It clearly says he was back and forth on the D.C. Gun ban. You have yet to provide anything to support that he would ever strike the second amendment and come for our guns. I extended the olive branch earlier to put an end to one of the 2 frickin things that made him a "freedom hater".

He supported the Heller decision when it came down. Here's his full quote on it...
quote:
I have always believed that the Second Amendment protects the right of individuals to bear arms, but I also identify with the need for crime-ravaged communities to save their children from the violence that plagues our streets through common-sense, effective safety measures. The Supreme Court has now endorsed that view, and while it ruled that the D.C. gun ban went too far, Justice Scalia himself acknowledged that this right is not absolute and subject to reasonable regulations enacted by local communities to keep their streets safe. Today’s ruling, the first clear statement on this issue in 127 years, will provide much-needed guidance to local jurisdictions across the country.
“As President, I will uphold the constitutional rights of law-abiding gun-owners, hunters, and sportsmen. I know that what works in Chicago may not work in Cheyenne. We can work together to enact common-sense laws, like closing the gun show loophole and improving our background check system, so that guns do not fall into the hands of terrorists or criminals. Today's decision reinforces that if we act responsibly, we can both protect the constitutional right to bear arms and keep our communities and our children safe.
