Doesn't Obama support 2nd Amendment rights?

Question # 59 on a personnel form all applicants must answer concerns gun ownership.

“Do you or any members of your immediate family own a gun? If so, provide complete ownership and registration information. Has the registration ever lapsed? Please also describe how and by whom it is used and whether it has been the cause of any personal injuries or property damage.”

Clyde,

How are those questions indicative of President-elect Obama not supporting ANY part of the Constitution? the questions simply ask if a potential nominee has obeyed the law, and if any potentially embarrassing incidents had taken place vis-a-vis a firearm.

Who's Clyde Willie?

Who's Willie, Clyde?

Willie is short for William Frank. I told William that I don't do monickers Frank and that short of him giving a name he would find acceptable to be referred to, I would refer to him as such.

Now perhaps you'll be so kind as to answer the question Willie refuses to answer.

Who is Clyde?

Certainly not me. My name is Aaron, which I gave when I signed up for this post and is what I go by.

BELLEVUE, Wash., Nov 19, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The nomination of Eric Holder for the post of attorney general of the United States sends an "alarming signal" to gun owners about how the Barack Obama administration will view individual gun rights, as affirmed this year by the Supreme Court, the Second Amendment Foundation said today.
"Eric Holder signed an amicus brief in the Heller case that supported the District of Columbia's handgun ban, and also argued that the Second Amendment does not protect an individual right," noted SAF founder Alan Gottlieb. "He has supported national handgun licensing and mandatory trigger locks. As deputy attorney general under Janet Reno, he lobbied Congress to pass legislation that would have curtailed legitimate gun shows.
"This is not the record of a man who will come to office as the nation's top law enforcement officer with the rights and concerns of gun owners in mind," he observed.
Holder's nomination, like the appointment of anti-gun Illinois Congressman Rahm Emanuel as White House Chief of Staff, tells American gun owners that Obama's campaign claims supporting the Second Amendment were "empty rhetoric," Gottlieb stated.
"America's 85 million gun owners have ample reason to be pessimistic about how their civil rights will fare under the Obama administration," Gottlieb said. "Mr. Obama will have a Congress with an anti-gun Democrat majority leadership to push his gun control agenda. Gun owners have not forgotten Mr. Obama's acknowledged opposition to concealed carry rights, nor his support for a ban on handgun ownership when he was running for the Illinois state senate.
"Barack Obama vigorously portrayed himself on the campaign trail as a man who supports gun ownership," Gottlieb concluded, "but now that he has won the election, he is surrounding himself with people who are avowed gun prohibitionists. What better indication of what to expect from Barack Obama as president than the people he is selecting to lead his administration? This isn't a roster of devoted public servants. It's a rogue's gallery of extremists who have labored to erase the Second Amendment from the Bill of Rights."
The Second Amendment Foundation ( www.saf.org) is the nation's oldest and largest tax-exempt education, research, publishing and legal action group focusing on the Constitutional right and heritage to privately own and possess firearms. Founded in 1974, the Foundation has grown to more than 600,000 members and supporters and conducts many programs designed to better inform the public about the consequences of gun control.

No William, it is not that simple. President Elect Obama, as Stephanie's post shows, has surrounded himself with anti-gun people. This question is a means of keeping pro gun/pro 2nd Amendment out of any place of employment in his adminstration.

And that's fine if he states what he's doing. But to lie to the American people and claim he's pro 2nd amendment when he is clearly anti is a bit deceiving, don't you think!!!
