Hi all.
Being in New Zealand and not being an American, we are pretty removed from the US politics here.
Unfortunatly, we are affected by who ever comes to offce in the USA so I've been following what I can where I can.
I read the below on another forum and was wondering if it was true.
"With only 20 days left to vote and the lead Obama has in the polls should his lead hold here's what we in for in an Obama Administration....
Prosecute people who use guns for self-defense in the home – YES
Ban the sale of almost all hunting ammo – YES
Increase taxes on firearms and ammunition by 500% - YES
What Obama Won't Tell You
The following is from the NRA.... 10/16/2008
Barack Obama's still claiming to be a Second Amendment supporter, and gun owners around the country are continuing to tell their friends, neighbors, co-workers and even strangers the truth about Obama's anti-gun agenda.
Second Amendment scholar David Hardy is shedding light on Obama's time with the Joyce Foundation, the anti-gun organization that funneled tens of millions of dollars to gun control groups while Obama served on its board of directors.
It turns out Obama didn't have a problem with the Joyce Foundation buying issues of law reviews and turning them into gun-control propaganda pieces. Yet Obama, who taught a constitutional law seminar at the University of Chicago, keeps saying he'd never do anything to hurt the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. It's too late for rhetoric like that. He already has hurt the Second Amendment, and he'd do a lot more if given the chance. "
If the above is true, is he allowed to do this or would there nned to be a process in the gov. that he'd need to go through and would there be pubplic voting alloed on the isue.
This sucks, cause everytime there is a ban or restriction in the USA, we feel it here too, especially when it comes to guns
