Fake Failure

, however, has another quote on the issue: But asked today about
the DC handgun ban currently being reviewed by the US Supreme Court, Obama declined
to take a position for or against its Constitutionality but did express broad
support for the rights of local jurisdictions to make such decisions for themselves.
"The city of Chicago has gun laws, so does Washington, DC," Obama
said. "The notion that somehow local jurisdictions can't initiate gun safety
laws to deal with gangbangers and random shootings on the street isn't born
out by our Constitution."
Gun owners with any brains want sensible gun laws enforced. However, that does
not include punishing law abiding citizens, because you think gangbangers shouldn't
have guns.

As for Obama talking to gun owners, it comes off as pandering because it's
clear that the senator doesn't get gun owners. You can't fake it on this one.
