We're gun owners and users....but don't maintain an arsenal I don't know what he had in mind with 'common-sense regulations' but suspect they're probably reasonable enough for me.

>>Obama claims to be supportive of the individual right to own a gun, but supports what he calls "common sense" regulations, a clear violation of the Second Amendment clause which says the "right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."<< MM - So you don't believe in any kind of regulation of guns? Should a person who has been convicted of violent crimes be allowed to go buy a gun the day he is released from prison? What about minors? Should a child of twelve be able to walk into a store and buy a machine gun and ammunition? A related question would be whether you think libel and slander laws are unconstitutional as well, since they regulate not only speech, but the Press as well. - Allen
