*Obama addressed the June 2008 Supreme Court decision striking down
the District of Columbia's gun ban by saying, I have always believed
that the Second Amendment protects the right of individuals to bear
arms, but I also identify with the need for crime-ravaged communities
to save their children from the violence that plagues our streets
through common-sense, effective safety measures. The Supreme Court
has now endorsed that view, and while it ruled that the D.C. gun ban
went too far, Justice Scalia himself acknowledged that this right is
not absolute and subject to reasonable regulations enacted by local
communities to keep their streets safe.?

*Obama has a history of supporting gun control.

*Obama supports a ban on assault weapons and concealed weapons.

*He would crackdown on unscrupulous gun dealers.

*He voted against prohibiting lawsuits against gun manufacturers.
