Or maybe he can reconcile his various comments in a way that never occurred to me.
How about yourself? You keeping a pretty open mind about Obama?

If he has the positions on gun control that are described here, I believe that would render him unelectable in the general election. There are a whole lot of blue collar democrats that are very fond of their guns. They will vote R if they believe their guns are in jeapordy (whether they are or not really does not matter). I think what a president thinks about gun control probably does not matter a whole lot. I think congress would not allow the present situation to change much.
I am not a gun afficianado but I believe it is our right to have guns and I believe it is a very important right.
