No matter how hard the Obama Administration tries, the Second Amendment is not up for debate. I want to see an end to acts of hate and violence as much as everyone else, but I do not think you accomplish that goal by restricting the rights of legal gun owners. I will not support any legislation that infringes on the rights of legal gun owners and gives more power and authority to the federal government.
