One of the frustrating things about Obama (and the thing that may well earn him the Tic nomination, if not the presidency) is the fact that he is so vaporous on the issues.\u00a0 What does <\/em>Obie believe, really, behind all of that rhetoric about “change”?\u00a0 Well, you have to do some digging.<\/p>\n

And Clayton Cramer has – and finds that behind Obie’s palaver, he’s lying<\/a>\u00a0about his approach to the Second Amendment:<\/p>\n

It isn’t just that he supports bans on semiautomatics, and more possession and purchase restrictions. He claims that he wants more laws to keep guns out of the inner cities. Why? Does he think black people lack the sense that white people have?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The roots of gun control in America have always <\/em>been racist; America’s first gun ban, in the late 1860’s in south Texas, was aimed at disarming blacks, many of whom were Union Army veterans who gave the early Klansmen a lot of nasty bloody noses.\u00a0 The resurgence of gun control in the late sixties was a knee-jerk response to inner-city crime (and the RFK assassination) – and to the left and the media, “inner city” is always a PC synonym for “people of color”.<\/p>\n

Obama may be able to triangulate on faith – but he’ll polish the turd of his anti-gun past into a perception of being gun-friendly over my dead body.\u00a0 And I think I can name about four million NRA members who’ll go along with me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
