And at one point Mr. Obama was for limiting self-defense. (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/01/17/politics/main2369157.shtml). I am an old fashioned American in that you invade my home at your risk. And I also believe that most people do not change their opinions/positions easily or quickly, especially politicians who live in their own cocoon outside of everyday life and its realities.
In MD some years ago when there was a discussion on stronger handgun law proposals at a local TV station, I believe it was PBS, with three people from Baltimore; two were blacks with one a former gang member and the other elderly. Both were against the law because they felt that they would be deprived of self-defense. The former gang member said he thought that as is the case now, he could get a weapon regardless of the law, so why have the gun law and take ownership away from good people. The interviewer couldn’t believe what he was hearing from his reaction to their positions since I assume he believed that those from areas of high violence would be for stronger gun control.
Our former Lt. Governor Kathleen Kennedy Townsend during a visit to homes in Baltimore was outraged that an elderly black man in the violent inner city of Baltimore was allowed, under the law at the time, to have a loaded shotgun in the corner of his living room. She, though, had a police escort. I wonder what she would have thought about going there by herself or spending a couple of nights in his neighborhood. Politicians seldom get asked that type of question. |

Few people are against handguns for self-defense. Full-auto rifles and miniguns aren’t for self defense. |

First, I don’t accept your premise that a full auto weapon doesn’t have a self-defense role. Secondly, given your premise, perhaps you can explain why it is the "Brady Bunch" going after semi-auto weapons that just happen to look like the full auto version? |

Few people are against handguns for self-defense. That’s not true. Take these people, for instance.

That’s why it’s such a good idea to go ahead and stock up now before the election. If you wait until after, you may not find just what you want at the same price as today.
Expect the size of federal government to double within the next four years if the messiah is crowned king of kings. |

Obama is against handguns and self defense. See his opinion on the DC ban.
Full auto weapons are banned by an ’86 law, except for the ones that were registered when the law was passed. They are now very expensive.
Weapons like the AR15 (or M1 carbine) are excellent for home defense, as well as a wide range of other defense uses. An M4gery is better for home defense than a handgun, and on top of that you can mount CQB optics like an EoTech and weapon’s lights to identify the "bump in the night". |

CA outlawed my 10-22 as an assault weapon at one point in time. I wrote previously that policies/positions will not change because of "politicians who live in their own cocoon outside of everyday life and its realities." And I add this, that they don’t usually know their a$$ from a hole in the ground because of the before mentioned cocoon around their life which protects them from life’s experiences. What ever one thinks about Sarah Palin, she has experienced life and that is why she is so hated by the elites; the same ones who don’t know a shotgun from a rifle or a 10-22 from an AK-47 or prefer a lofty lie to hard reality.
