Not very reassuring

Obama's argument: Vote for me, I couldn't take away your guns even if I wanted to. There aren't enough votes for it in Congress. Not because it is against the Constitution, which after all, only means what the other smart people like me that went to Harvard think it means, and certainly not because it would be wrong. Just because there are too many people in Congress that wouldn't vote for it. Isn't that an argument for not voting for people that, well, think like Obama? Yes, he is a seasoned professional alright.

What is worse are the arguments for keeping guns. "Traditions of sportsmanship," etc., are so condescending. You could have a bit more confidence that gun rights were secure with him if he could give a serious reason for those rights.
