>>If Clinton and Obama supported the Second Amendment they would have made a point to be there, like the signers did. I don't care why they didn't do it. << MM - FIrst, after reading Rambi's post, I completely edited mine. So what you are responding to isn't there anymore. But I really don't think I was focusing on an inconsequential detail about the point being made. For some reason you seem to think that signing that brief should have been the highest thing on Obama's and Clinton's priority list while they were in the midst of a grueling presidential campagin, and that if it wasn't that means they don't support the Second Amendment. Obama's statements indicate that he believes local jurisdictions have the right to place restrictions on gun ownership. The Supreme Court hasn't struck down such regulations, so apparently Obama, Constitutional scholar that he is, is not off base in holding that view. The fact that he disagrees with your stance doesn't make him clueless. - Allen
