When a child says "I'm sorry." for misbehaving and then immediately does the same thing, he either does not know the meaning of the words he speaks or doesn't care about the value of his word.

Similarly, when a politician says he supports the Second Amendment, and then votes for bills that violate those rights, there are only two options. He either doesn't know what he is saying, or he is saying what is necessary to get elected.

Either way, actions speak louder than words.

And so it is with Barack Obama.

Before you take the shortcut to FactCheck's analysis, remember that they are funded by the Annenberg Foundation, which just happens to also fund the Brady Bunch. Also recognize that their analysis relies on Obama's words and misrepresentations of the mentioned bills.

We have been hearing for months about how Obama was a constitutional professor and respects the Second Amendment as an individual right. Sportsmen for Obama groups have sprouted up here and there to try to accent the point. A skeet shoot in Brighton, Colorado, hosted by Ray Shoenke of the AHSA, was Obama's version of the Kerry absurd.

So, do we believe the words of a candidate or do we examine readily available information? I am not suggesting anyone take the word of the AHSA or the NRA. Investigate for yourself. Obama's voting record will speak for itself.

And his voting record is consistent with his words when running as an Illinois politician instead of a federal politician.

I suggest that you do not trust this site. And do not trust Gun Law News. Link through to bills like SB-2579 (Illinois 2003) and read the kind of bills that Obama actually voted for and read his speech on the bill  (page 123). Then examine the kind of bills that Obama voted against: S-397.

Do those votes reflect a position of support for the Second Amendment?

Do Obama's words mirror his actions or give the reflection of someone hoping you will not research his actions?

Do not let Barack fool you. Despite his words, Obama will support all the gun control he feels he can get passed. And he will do it while saying that he is not infringing the rights of hunters.

Now, if you disagree with me, please shoot me a note and provide me with information on actual actions that Obama has taken to support our Second Amendment rights. Words do not count. I commit to publish those Obama's actions.
