Obama's Anti-gun Record
Barack Obama supports handgun registration and licensing...
I know that the NRA believes people should be unimpeded and unregulated
on gun ownership. I disagree. I do not object to the lawful use and
ownership of firearms, but I do think it is entirely it appropriate for
the state to monitor it. Too many of these guns end up in the hands of
criminals even though they were originally purchased by people who did
not have a felony. I'll continue to be in favor of handgun law
registration requirements and licensing requirements for training.
[Chicago Defender, 7/5/01]
--- http://factcheck.barackobama.com/factcheck2/2007/12/
and more...
The package closes the Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card
loopholes which resulted in the shooting out in Melrose Park. We're
eliminating 17 specific assault weapons. There is no reason why anybody
should need an assault weapon to protect themselves or their family,'
Obama said. 'We're limiting handgun sales to one a month. We're calling
for handgun registration. It's very hard right now to track whether or
not a felon has turned in his weapons or if he has a FOID card because
we don't know how many weapons he has purchased. [Chicago Defender, 2/20/01]
--- http://factcheck.barackobama.com/factcheck2/2007/12/
Opposes civilian concealed carry
I am consistently on record and will continue to be on record as
opposing concealed carry.
--- Mendell, David, "From Promise to Power" (2007), p. 251.
I am not in favor of concealed weapons. I think that creates a potential
atmosphere where more innocent people could (get shot during) altercations.
--- Pittsburg Tribune-Review (April 2, 2008).
[Obama] backed federal legislation that would ban citizens from carrying
weapons, except for law enforcement. He cited Texas as an example of a
place where a law allowing people to carry weapons has "malfunctioned"
because hundreds of people granted licenses had prior convictions.
"National legislation will prevent other states' flawed
concealed-weapons laws from threatening the safety of Illinois
residents," Obama said.
--- http://www.icadp.org/page236.html (Citing David Mendel,
Chicago Tribune, February 20, 2004)
Opposes possession of most semi-automatic rifles
Obama has stated the government needs to permanently reinstate an
"assault weapons" ban.
(Obama Calls for Permanent Assault Weapons Ban to Combat Inner-City
Violence, Associated Press [via Fox News] [July 15, 2007] and
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/issues/issues.gun.html)
(McCain voted against the 1994 crime bill that contained an "assault
weapons" ban [see the latter link].)
Voted for a federal ban on most military surplus ammo
Voted in 2005 to classify all Full Metal Jacket ammo in the following
calibers as armor-piercing (since they are capable both of being fired
from a handgun and of penetrating Kevlar bullet-resistant vests):
223 Remington
308 Winchester
Soviet 7.62x39
Source:
http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=109&session=1&vote=00217
Opposes protecting firearms manufacturers from lawsuits due to the
misuse of their products.
In July, 2005 Obama voted against S. 397 that passed by a wide margin
(65-31) and became law in October, 2005. This act prohibits "civil
liability actions from being brought or continued against manufacturers,
distributors, dealers, or importers of firearms or ammunition for
damages, injunctive or other relief resulting from the misuse of their
products by others."
Probably supports local handgun bans
The campaign of Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama said that
he "believes that we can recognize and respect the rights of law-abiding
gun owners and the right of local communities to enact common sense laws
to combat violence and save lives. Obama believes the D.C. handgun law
is constitutional."
--- http://www.sportsmenforobama.org/content/view/34/ (Citing
James Oliphant and Michael J. Higgins, "Court To Hear Gun Case," Chicago
Tribune, 11/20/07).
(See http://www.scotuswiki.com/index.php?title=DC_v._Heller for
background on the case of District of Columbia v. Heller, before the
Supreme Court, that will decide the constitutionality of a civilian
handgun ban in Washington, D.C.)
Opposed the nomination of Supreme Court justices John G. Roberts Jr. and
Samuel A. Alito Jr.
Recent Supreme Court justices John G. Roberts Jr. and Samuel A. Alito
Jr. were instrumental to a favorable Second Amendment ruling in the
Heller case mentioned above. Obama voted against the nomination of
Roberts and Alito. (McCain voted for the nomination of both justices.)
(Roberts' roll call vote, Alito's roll call vote) |

Obama has stated the government needs to permanently reinstate an
"assault weapons" ban.
(Obama Calls for Permanent Assault Weapons Ban to Combat Inner-City
Violence, Associated Press [via Fox News] [July 15, 2007] and
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/issues/issues.gun.html)
(McCain voted against the 1994 crime bill that contained an "assault
weapons" ban [see the latter link].)
Voted for a federal ban on most military surplus ammo
Voted in 2005 to classify all Full Metal Jacket ammo in the following
calibers as armor-piercing (since they are capable both of being fired
from a handgun and of penetrating Kevlar bullet-resistant vests):
223 Remington
308 Winchester
Soviet 7.62x39

Opposes protecting firearms manufacturers from lawsuits due to the
misuse of their products.
In July, 2005 Obama voted against S. 397 that passed by a wide margin
(65-31) and became law in October, 2005. This act prohibits "civil
liability actions from being brought or continued against manufacturers,
distributors, dealers, or importers of firearms or ammunition for
damages, injunctive or other relief resulting from the misuse of their
products by others."
Probably supports local handgun bans
The campaign of Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama said that
he "believes that we can recognize and respect the rights of law-abiding
gun owners and the right of local communities to enact common sense laws
to combat violence and save lives. Obama believes the D.C. handgun law
is constitutional."

background on the case of District of Columbia v. Heller, before the
Supreme Court, that will decide the constitutionality of a civilian
handgun ban in Washington, D.C.)
Opposed the nomination of Supreme Court justices John G. Roberts Jr. and
Samuel A. Alito Jr.
Recent Supreme Court justices John G. Roberts Jr. and Samuel A. Alito
Jr. were instrumental to a favorable Second Amendment ruling in the
Heller case mentioned above. Obama voted against the nomination of
Roberts and Alito. (McCain voted for the nomination of both justices.)
