I'll cap it up for you real nice. Obama doesn't like guns. He wants to walk the line by saying he respects the 2nd amendment, but truthfully his actions show he doesn't. You can't BAN firearms ownership and still support the 2nd amendment (Firearms ownership). As for banning semi-automatic firearms, I live in CA and can tell you that it only hurts us. The gangs are still packing uzis and Kalashnikovs, but I'M STUCK WITH A WW2 RUSSIAN BOLT-ACTION RIFLE! Lets just say I'm outgunned. I'm a better shot, so I figure I can take a few down, but I can't really do much by myself. The point of this anecdote is that gun control doesn't work, but the left seems to think that more laws will stop those who already break them. Obama is no difference.
