I was glad to hear him say that AK-47's are not the problem, it's handguns.

Handguns are not a problem. Handguns are tools. Crime is a problem. Crime aided by the use of handguns can be worse, but handguns on their own are just tools with many legitimate defensive potential uses as well.

I am disappointed with Obama's statements regarding the Second Amendment, but this issue will not determine how I vote. Romney is of course too awful in so many other ways. And for that matter, Romney is pretty awful about Second Amendment issues as well.
