like mandatory registration?)
Which means you'd have to change your member name to

I'd be compromising some of my values no matter who I voted for.
It just depends on the priority of your values.
The 2A is up there right around number 2 on my value list.

I'm not so sure Obama hasn't sponsored some gun control bills at the state/local level.
You know, the IL FOID card and chicago's wonderful laws.
It's hard to tell, he's done so little, except vote "present" when
a simple "yes or no" would suffice.
I have so little faith in our politicians that I have trouble accepting what they claim their position is on any issue.

My point was simply that both parties have voted for anti gun measures in the past. Maybe its more fair to say that McCain is less anti gun than obama, for whatever thats worth.
