But even he can't hide from the truth forever ... his voting record, political associations, and long standing positions make it clear that, if elected, Barack Obama would be the most anti-gun president in American history.

GunBaNObama.com is designed to bring you the truth about Barack Obama's words  - words like these:

• "Do you support state legislation to ...  ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns? Yes."  (Independent Voters of Illinois/Independent Precinct Organization general candidate questionnaire, Sept. 9, 1996 
• "I'm consistently on record and will continue to be on record as opposing concealed carry."  (Chicago Tribune, April 27, 2004)
• "I believe in keeping guns out of our inner cities and that our leaders must say so in the face of the gun manufacturers lobby."  Barack Obama, The Audacity of Hope (2006).

• Obama voted to ban almost all rifle ammunition commonly used for hunting and sports shooting.  (United States Senate, vote no. 217, S. 397, July 29, 2005)
• Obama voted to uphold local gun bans and the criminal prosecution of people who use firearms in self-defense.  (Illinois Senate, SB 2165, vote 20, March 25, 2004)
• In his only two votes on confirming Supreme Court nominees, Obama voted against two of the five justices (Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito) who later affirmed an individual right to keep and bear arms in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller.

This is the real Barack Obama:

"I'm consistently on record and will continue to be on record as opposing concealed carry."

Chicago Tribune, 4/27/04

"I think it's a scandal that this president (Bush) did not authorize a renewal of the assault weapons ban."

"I believe in keeping guns out of our inner cities and that our leaders must say so in the face of the gun manufacturers lobby."

The Audacity of Hope, by Barack Obama, 2006

"I think we have two conflicting traditions in this country." (gun ownership and restrictions on guns)

Politico, 2/11/08

"I think that local jurisdictions have the capability to institute their own gun laws."

BaltimoreSun.com, 2/15/08

"There was a discussion today about a law that has just passed in California that allows micro-tracing of bullets that have been discharged in a crime so that they can immediately be traced," he said. "This is something that California has passed over the strong objections of the NRA...That's the kind of common sense gun law that gun owners as well as victims of gun violence can get behind."

Q: When you were in the state senate, you talked about licensing and registering gun owners. Would you do that as president?

A: I don't think that we can get that done.

2008 Democratic debate in Las Vegas  Jan 15, 2008

Strong Majority of Voters Disagree With Barack Obama on Second Amendment 9/2/2008 - A strong majority of likely voters disagree with Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on firearms and self-defense related issues, according to a just-released ATI-News/Zogby poll.

Seventy-seven percent of likely voters said they oppose legislation to
ban such commonly used ammunition, while only nine percent said they would
support such a ban. A strong majority of Democrats (58 percent),
Republicans (92 percent) and Independents (84 percent) all oppose the
ammunition ban that Obama supported -- as do 79 percent of military
families. (This nationwide poll of 3,825 likely voters was conducted August
27-29 and has a margin of error +/- 1.6 percentage points.)

    "This is just another example of how Obama's extreme position on basic
Second Amendment freedoms runs counter to the beliefs of most Americans,"
said O'Leary.

    Self-Defense

    As an Illinois State Senator in 2004, Barack Obama voted against
legislation that protects citizens, who use firearms in self-defense in
their home or business in spite of local gun bans, from prosecution. Here
again, the Obama position is counter to that of most Americans.

    ATI-News/Zogby asked likely voters: "Do you agree or disagree that you
have the right to use deadly force as a means of self-defense in your home,
without having to retreat?"

    Eighty-eight percent of likely voters agree that they should have this
basic right to self-defense, while only eight percent disagreed. An
overwhelming majority of Democrats (83 percent), Republicans (90 percent)
and Independents (91 percent) all agree. (This nationwide poll of 974
likely voters was conducted August 15-18 and has a margin of error +/- 3.2
percentage points.)

    Most state legislatures have already taken steps to strengthen this
right. Thirty-three states now have "Castle Doctrine" laws that remove a
person's "duty to retreat" from any place he or she has a legal right to
be. Of these states, twenty-two also prohibit criminals and their families
from suing people who injure criminals in self-defense. Many of these laws
have been enacted only in recent years, and more state legislatures are
expected to follow suit in 2009 and beyond.

    "Why would Obama vote to make it more difficult for citizens to protect
their homes, businesses and families from life-threatening criminal
attacks?" asked O'Leary. "Americans need to question whether or not they
agree with the 'change' Obama could bring to their basic rights and
freedoms."
