Jeff points out what Obama is saying lately about guns:
I certainly believe in the Second Amendment right, that people have the right to bear arms. But I also believe it is important to have some common-sense gun laws in place to make sure that straw purchasers aren’t being used to fill up our streets with illegal firearms, and that we have stronger background checks so we keep firearms out of the hands of people with mental health problems or young people or those who have committed crimes. I think it is important for us to strengthen our ability to trace guns that have been used in crimes to gun dealers to make sure they are not operating in an illegal way. I think it’s possible to reconcile the tradition of gun ownership, and the rights of sportsmen, hunters and those who want to protect their families, with keeping handguns that are used in crime off the streets. You can protect the rights of gun owners and at the same time keep guns out of the hands of criminals.
Let’s get out the Obama Secret Decoder Ring and see what he’s really calling for. What do you know? It’s basically the Brady Campaign playbook. I wonder who he’s been talking to?
| Obama Statement | Secret Deocder Ring Says |
| Common-sense gun laws in place to make sure that straw purchasers aren’t being used to fill up our streets with illegal firearms” | We need to pass a gun rationing scheme here in the United States! One gun a month, and that’s just a start. |
| and that we have stronger background checks so we keep firearms out of the hands of people with mental health problems or young people or those who have committed crimes | What we need is to close the gun show loophole once and for all. |
| I think it is important for us to strengthen our ability to trace guns that have been used in crimes to gun dealers to make sure they are not operating in an illegal way. | I promised Bloomy I would get rid of that Tiahrt Amendment, you know. He said if I did that, he’d stay out of the race |
| I think it’s possible to reconcile the tradition of gun ownership, and the rights of sportsmen, hunters and those who want to protect their families, with keeping handguns that are used in crime off the streets. | I think we can reconcile the tradition of gun ownership, and the rights of sportsmen, hunters, and thos who want to protect their families, with keeping handguns that are used in crime out of the hands of anyone |
Ooops… I get he got a little carried away with himself on that last one. The Brady’s must not have told him we don’t talk about handgun bans anymore in public.
Can we get a decoder ring for the rest of Obama’s “positions,” too?

Easier just to pick up a copy of the Communist Manifesto by Marx…
