When the Independent Voters of Illinois (IVI) asked Barack Obama if he supported a “ban [on] the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns” — he responded “yes.”
On the Illinois State Legislative National Political Awareness Test, Obama wrote that he wanted to “ban the sale or transfer of all forms of semi-automatic weapons.”
Barack also personally told John Lott “I don’t believe that people should be able to own guns.”
In addition to all of these statements, Obama served as a board member for the Joyce Foundation, a virulently anti-freedom organization which funds front groups such as the Violence Policy Center (VPC) and Handgun Free America.
The Obama campaign is currently attempting to “spin” Obama’s previous statements to make him more acceptable to American voters. This involves both denying past statements and making new statements which directly conflict with past statements. Where I come from, we have a very clear term for such shenanigans: lying.
If Obama is elected, which Obama will rule as President? The Barack who has believed all his life that only the government should possess the right to self-defense, or the new Barack that his campaign has invented over the course of the last few months? Which Barack do you believe?
