More Illinois Sportsmen on Obama

From my perspective, Senator Obama was allied against Second Amendment Rights while in the Illinois Senate, and appeared disinterested at best in relation to sportsmen's rights. My first contact with him was several years ago when I attended an Illinois Senate Committee hearing that he chaired. The committee was reviewing the contentious "Assault Weapons Ban" bill promoted by Chicago Mayor Daley. When it was pointed out in testimony that the bill's definitions made felons out of every hunter in Illinois that owned a rifled-barrel deer slug gun or an inline muzzleloader, he dismissed the concerns as "minor wording details" and sailed the bill through the committee by allowing two "readings" on the very same day. The wording was later changed in a very superficial way, and the heavily-flawed bill eventually died on the senate floor.

Why we've discussed that very bill. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to know that our potential future president has no problem voting for bills that have "minor wording details". Of course that removes the possibility that he was unaware of said 'loopholes' and shows he intentionally voted for the confiscation and banning of many hunting and sporting firearms.

So far Obama's Zero for Three on organizations that he claimed would support him.
