Obama removes 2nd Amendment from his ISSUES webpage

[melensdad]

Ok what is going on with this election? We had a MONUMENTAL ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court on the gun issue. The primary elections were rife with talk about guns. But NOWHERE is there any mention of guns in the press. In fact there is so little discussion about guns, except on the internet gun boards, that Barack Obama removed all mention of gun rights from his "Issues" page.

Barack Obama's ISSUES page: Barack Obama and Joe Biden: The Change We Need | Issues

Contrast Obama's ISSUE page with McCain's page where the 2nd Amendment is clearly defended: JohnMcCain.com - McCain-Palin 2008

I can only assume that since most of the mainstream media is comfortably in Obama's hip pocket they are playing along with him and being polite enough not remind anyone about his record on guns.

Now despite the fact that the media is not reporting on guns in regard to election politics . . . the media however continues issuing its routine national "news" reports of many minor local gun-related crimes, creating a false impression that gun violence is random (it is highly localized in "bad" neighborhoods), an intrinsic value of firearms (it is largely related to the federalized war on some drugs), and that guns should be outlawed since outlaws use them (the same as outlaws use getaway cars, stolen cash, knives, clubs, liquor, cigarettes, soft drinks, tattoos and everything else).
