What part of "shall not be infringed" is so difficult for people to understand?

That viewpoint is the prevelant one within the MSM, and no politician is ever attacked for reflecting the conventional wisdom. Unless we, the great unwashed at our laptops, in our living rooms, and in our PJ's, bring this point home time, after time, after time, this will disappear into the ether, and be forgotten. How would he be “hard pressed to defend his Bernie Sander’s like view of how the world should be run…”?

I am sure they would line up in droves to turn in their weapons then. Or not.

Question: "Do you need anybody?" The media: "I need somebody to love." Obama: "I get by with a little help from my friends."

The problem is, the Constitutional "gun safety laws" in question (prohibition of ownership by felons, prohibition of using guns to commit crimes) already exist, and can't stop gang members from being violent. (If only Obama understood that the "gun safety laws" he <i>wants</i>, which are <i>not</i> Constitutional, also wouldn't stop them.) Well, he’s right, technically – just not how he wants to be.
