Sea change in gun rights?
Written by Rob on February 15, 2008 – 1:43 pm -Is there anyone left for this administration to alienate? In short, yes. Today Barack Obama reaffirms his belief in the ‘individual rights’ mantra of the Second Amendment, while George Bush’s Department of Justice asks the Supreme Court to adopt a ‘reasonableness’ standard
as it considers Washington D.C.’s gun ban. At best Bush’s supporters can say there is little to no difference in their positions on the right to bear arms. At worst, you can say the Bush administration has abandoned one of it’s strongest supporting groups, to an extent that many gunowners can reasonably conclude that Obama would be a better protector of their ownership rights than President Bush, especially when Bush’s general regard for the Constitution and the rule of law is considered.
