. . .

Really quick, I want to apologize for mistating that Obama was an Illinois State House Rep, when we was an Illinois State Senator. Honest mistake on my part.

. . . And I understand why other things would have been brought up on this topic to show cause and example as to Obama's record of lying/flip-flopping and thats what influences someone's belief as to why he can't be trusted about guns.

However, all I'm trying to do is deal with the issue of both options of Obama and Romney and their records regarding fireamrs. In the end, I'm not really that worried with either of them regarding this. The NRA is too powerful of a lobby to let something like Clinton's AWB to happen again. I don't think Congress would ever seriously look at this topic again, unless we have a severe frequent occurance of more mass shootings occur. I hope that doesn't happen, primarily because I hate hearing about people being senselessly murdered. Still, I'm just not worried about Obama on this issue. And side by side, I also don't think Romney is a better choice to protect this issue either. He's probably better for others, but based on the arguements, not necessarily better than Obama.
So your entire statement “So, how far back do you want to go? What did Illinois House Representative Obama, then US Senator Obama lie about regarding his support for gun owners? I'd like to know specifically when and what statement you are referring to so I can answer you properly.” was an “honest mistake”?

Bambam solicited the support of the ISRA and lied to the gun owners present and by extension the entire ISRA membership and all gun owners in Illinois, like I said, that makes him a liar, particularly about gun issues, once and for all. Unfortunately I don’t have the exact date and time, nor the exact words, but I was then and am still a life member of ISRA and got the word from people who were there when this charismatic young politician asked my organization to support his candidacy because he was not an enemy of gun owners. HE IS A LIAR!

I am worried about bambam, and I am worried about Romney, but I think bambam is worse, and my only issue in this thread until now has been bambam and his lies.

Well, that depends on how far back you go. He does have a track record of lying about his support for gun owners, which sure seems to be a large part of anything that he has done.

You also can know him by the company he keeps, what he says seems to me to be for political purposes and to placate the "powerful gun lobby" but those around him are most certainly anti-rights and have proved it many times.

When was he ever an "Illinois House Representative"? Don't you think you should have your facts straight before you make this sort of argument? Bambam stood in front of a meeting of members of the Illinois State Rifle Association and lied about his support for gun owners back when he was running for Illinois State Senate, making him for once, and for all, a liar. Everything after that is equally suspect.
