Are you paying attention? Have you seen who he has appointed to the Supreme Court? Do you know what happens if he gets to replace one of the more "conservative" justices? Have you heard the statements from his staff and DOJ about doing things with gun laws that bypass Congress?

“As the president said, we should focus on sound, effective steps that will keep guns out of the hands of the criminals, fugitives, people with serious mental illness, and others who have no business possessing a gun and who are prohibited by laws on the books from owning a gun,” Justice Department spokesman Matthew Miller said. “We will be meeting with stakeholders on all sides of the issue to discuss how we can find sensible, intelligent ways to make the country safer.”

So, once you get past the felons and the mentally ill, who gets to decide who those "others" are who "have no business possessing a gun"?
Well, let's explore a bit further. There's this:

Obama Looking For Ways Around Congress on Gun Policy
First Posted: 03/15/11 04:33 PM Updated: 03/15/11 04:33 PM

WASHINGTON -- Faced with a Congress hostile to even slight restrictions of Second Amendment rights, the Obama administration is exploring potential changes to gun laws that can be secured strictly through executive action, administration officials say.

Apparently, he thinks HE is the one who gets to decide. Him, and that ASSCLOWN, Cass Sunstein, an anti-gun, anti-hunting extremist. Appointing that idiot to a position of power ought to be reason for impeachment.
It boggles the mind that any sane person could vote for someone like this. The Supreme Court's support of the 2nd Amendment dangles by a single vote, and several of the justices with the correct view of the 2nd Amendment as an individual right are approaching retirement... We know Obama's agenda. We know what type of people he will appoint to the high Court. And, we know what will happen to the 2nd Amendment if he gets re-elected. The use of the term might be tinged with hyperbole, but, I consider ANYONE who votes for him this time around to be a traitor to those who support the 2nd Amendment.
