(53,031 posts)34. yeah, Obama has been great business for the gun companies
The fact is he has done nothing on the issue other than enable people to carry arms into national parks. That's an expansion of gun rights. As I said, I don't like any of this, but I know there is nothing I can do about it. There is a gun rights forum here on DU and you will find advocates there as fierce as any on the right. This really isn't a partisan issue anymore.
You will see a few threads favorable to Bob Costas' remarks on here. Those are the first I've seen on here in a long time. Talk is cheap though, and the law is the law. SCOTUS is the last word, absent a constitutional amendment which will NEVER happen.
