Obama is still an enemy of the Second Amendment. His history proves it.

Obama wants a gun registry like Canada's. You also want medicare like Canada has. I live there some of the time and have no idea why. rcmp-grc.gc.ca en.wikipedia.org Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner Julian Fantino is opposed to the gun registry, stating in a press release: "We have an ongoing gun crisis including firearms-related homicides lately in Toronto, and a law registering firearms has neither deterred these crimes nor helped us solve any of them. None of the guns we know to have been used were registered, although we believe that more than half of them were smuggled into Canada from the United States. The firearms registry is long on philosophy and short on practical results considering the money could be more effectively used for security against terrorism as well as a host of other public safety initiatives." Cost overruns "The registry again became a political issue in the early 2000s when massive cost overruns were reported. The project which was meant to cost approximately $119 million ended up costing over 3 billion dollars to implement. Documents obtained by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation now estimate the program cost at $2 billion."
