Here are a couple of direct quotes that the Robert Novak article attributes to Obama:
Quote:
...Campaigning at Iowa's Cornell College Dec. 5, [Obama] asserted that the Second Amendment "is an individual right and not just a right of the militia." ...

On March 24, a reader e-mailed The Washington Post that "Obama supports the D.C. law" and demanded a correction. That was based on an Associated Press account of Obama's Milwaukee press conference asserting that "he voiced support for the District of Columbia's ban on handguns." In fact, all he said he was: "The notion that somehow local jurisdictions can't initiate gun safety laws to deal with gang bangers and random shootings on the street isn't born out by our Constitution." ...

[emphasis added]
The first quote is pro-gun rights and the second one is, AFAIK, completely mainstream accepted legal analysis. I don't see anything in that article that is remotely like what you and Knight Rider attribute to Obama.
