Barack Obama has voted for or supported some of the most extreme gun control measures ever attempted in our nation. And yet, with the help of his media accomplices, the Democrat has managed to lull some gun owners into complacency, just as he has managed to lull many hard-working, red-blooded American workers into complacency by obscuring his socialist economic agenda.

Thanks to one simple question from Joe the Plumber on the campaign trail, Americans now know about Obama's plan for wealth redistribution. And thanks to one simple answer to an interview question, Obama has given "Joe the Hunter" all he needs to know about where he really stands on the right to bear arms.

It has often been observed that the real Obama comes out when you get him off the tele-prompter. In Toledo, Ohio with Joe the Plumber, it was the expression of a desire to "spread the wealth around". And now, in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Obama has finally committed his "Joe the Hunter" moment.

From the story:

When asked about whether a general ban on carrying loaded guns in national parks should be eliminated, the answers were sharply different and somewhat predictable.

McCain, who is against gun control, stated: "I believe the National Park Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service should remove their prohibitions against law-abiding citizens transporting and carrying firearms to lands managed by those agencies."

Obama, who is against assault weapons and a gun show loophole that allows trading of weapons between private individuals, stated: "I believe in Second Amendment rights and the rights of hunters and sportsmen to bear arms and use them in a responsible way. But I am concerned about allowing loaded firearms into family-oriented spaces."

While Barack Obama claims to be a constitutional scholar, he appears to have missed the words "shall not be infringed" and instead believes that the Second Amendment contains the word "but".

"I believe in Second Amendment rights and the rights of hunters and sportsmen to bear arms and use them in a responsible way. BUT I am concerned about allowing loaded firearms into family-oriented spaces."

And with that, the McCain/ Palin campaign has just been handed their "Joe the Hunter" moment, and they need to use it to their full advantage over the next seven days.

America's gun owners enjoy the right have loaded firearms in family-oriented spaces all the time. In fact, it is loyalty to family that inspires many to keep a loaded firearm ready at hand for home defense. It is loyalty to family that motivates a mother to carry a concealed firearm for the protection of her children while, for example, hiking on a secluded park trail. It is loyalty to family that motivates a father to invite his young son or daughter into the field on opening day, or to the range for an afternoon of plinking. "Joe the Hunter" understands this implicitly. Barack just thinks they're all bitter clingers.

When it comes to Obama and the Second Amendment, you'll never hear him utter his supposed support without the follow-up:
"But..."

And thanks to his "Joe the Hunter" moment, we have a late-October admission of the excuse Obama will use as he signs the first gun control law of his administration.
"I am concerned about allowing loaded firearms into family-oriented spaces."

"Joe the Hunter" should be deeply concerned about Obama's concern.

"But I am concerned about allowing loaded firearms into family-oriented spaces."

Don't worry barrack, my home is not exactly family oriented. It's only for infidels.

I think he is preaching to the choir on this issue.

"I believe in Second Amendment rights and the rights of hunters and sportsmen to bear arms and use them in a responsible way. But I am concerned about allowing loaded firearms into family-oriented spaces."

I am worried about allowing Obama access to a Democratically Controlled Congress. I will NEVER refer to you as my President, and you can kiss my a** if you think I am going to give up any of my rights. I am a law abiding citizen: You should look at your friends if you want to find a bunch of law breaking, cop killing, scum bag, communist loving, America hating, pieces of sh*t. Hallelujah. HOLY S*IT. Now, where's the Tylenol?

The question being asked was about firearms in national parks.

I think it's important to note that, because if Obama is as articulate and intelligent as he generally presents himself to be then that makes his choice of words here even more worrisome.

"Family-oriented" spaces....for example, in public? Not a very thin veil, Obama.

Nobody must have told him...

...the second amendment has nothing to do with hunting or sporting.

Sure, it's family oriented today.

Just like his definition of "rich", his list of banned areas will increase.

Rich was $250,000. Then it was $200,000. Now it's $150,000. 95% of Americans getting a tax cut is probably closer to 50%. I was reading on the Mises blog (or Cato) that it's probably only a small fraction of people that would be eligible for Obama-bucks.

Banned areas are family-oriented today. Next it will be "any public area". Shortly following this, it will be "anywhere outside the confines of your home". And last but not least, "you can't carry, period, not even in your home."

Buckle up. It's going to be a great four years.

Excuse my while I go throw up....again.

Yuh ... I reckon that "family oriented spaces" will be interpreted to mean every public space.

J_C, the 3d is my birthday. I think I'm getting a different sort of birthday present this year. Like many gifts we get, it isn't one that fits me, or I would have picked out.

But I hope I learn to make the best of it, and maybe I'll grow into it.
