I'm voting for Obama because he just seems to think about things the same way I do.

I enjoy owning and shooting my guns, but it isn't the highest thing on my priority list. I don't think Obama could succeed in banning handguns or concealed carry if he wanted; both are too rooted in American culture. I suppose another assault weapons/high capacity ban is possible, but I could live without an Evil Black Rifle.
ONE JUSTICE. We won Heller by ONE JUSTICE. Obama will get to nominate at least one and Scalia is not getting any younger... Obama will have a Dem controlled Senate to approve his appointment. Given Obama's quotes on SCOTUS nominee requirements Ginsburg will appear like a constructionist.
You need to learn some history and do so quickly because you are sadly ignorant on the subject. Look at what happened elsewhere. Look at how the AWB works in NY, where a ban still exists.
Unless you have had your head in a cave you should have noticed the NEW threat that the antis have touted... SNIPER RIFLES!!! Suddenly every deer rifle in America is a SNIPER RIFLE.
Here is a real question, on what does Obama think like you and on what day are you basing that? Mind you, his positions change depending on who he needs votes from now, ask his old mentor Rev. Wright, the guy with the bus on top of him. They were inseparable for a long time, until he no longer needed him and he was a liability. Likewise his Weather Underground friend...
Were you supporting him because he was going to pull troops out of Iraq starting immediately (used to win the primary) or because he now says different? Was it because he wanted the POTUS to sit down with no conditions to speak with the President of Iran or one of his other stated positions on that subject? Was it because he advised invading Pakistan? Was it his opposition to the surge or his support of it because I can't figure out where he is on that now.
People have been hard on him calling him an empty suit. That is not true. There is something in that suit. Sadly it is a deceitful, manipulative liar who is far more concerned about improving his own position rather than that of the nation.
