[UPDATE: Well, now we have a good range on this new revelation by Obama. It had to have happened after February of 2008:
Oddly enough, this video predates the Beltway primaries. Fancy that.]

I don't, of course, because not being a Constitutional Law Scholar! I retain this naive belief that the 2nd Amendment is simply a straightforward confirmation of my individual right to own weapons, and that the typical reaction of the Founding Fathers to suggestions otherwise would be horrified laughter.

PS: Just in case the DC gun ban is upheld, I suggest that Obama supporters bookmark this site. Actually, bookmark it anyway: you're going to need it.

first with drilling, which 76% of people support according to a poll done by American Solutions, and now with the 2nd amendment, which the Supreme Court just said a right to own exists.

I just tore apart my dictionary and even the word etymology guide. I can't seem to find that word anywhere.
Could it be they are not only seeking to reinvent the candidate but also the English language in the process?

He managed to touch on nothing of substance. Just said he likes what we are doing and didn't say anything else.

Call me foolish but I didn't see his position on this in any of that mass.
