Changing his position

From an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times on April 25, 2008 (via the Brady Campaign):

Q: As a state legislator, you voted against a bill which would let people with orders of protection [against others] carry guns and another that would have barred municipalities from punishing people who kept guns in their homes. Why?

A: I felt that [the first one] was a precedent for conceal-and-carry laws. There has not been any evidence that allowing people to carry a concealed weapon is going to make anybody safer.

Yet just a few weeks earlier he claimed:

"I am not in favor of concealed weapons," Obama said. "I think that creates a potential atmosphere where more innocent people could (get shot during) altercations."

So in just a few weeks time, he went from "they can cause more deaths" to "they might not make things better".

I guess this shows that Barack"don't pay any attention to my handwriting on that paper" Obama is quicker on the ball than most anti's. It took them over a decade to make the same mental slide.
