And whether Barack Obama shoots or not--is irrelevant--what is relevant is that Barack Obama has a stated record and intention and a voting record--of banning guns!
Barack Obama hates God given human liberty--he rejects the reality of each human being as a sovereign, with God given, constitutionally ensured human rights; one of which is--the right to keep and bear arms and to defend oneself, ones family and ones property with deadly force if necessary, at all times and places whether at home, at work or anywhere else!
Here is some of Barack Obama's anti-gun record:
September 9, 1996
Barack Obama supports Ban on Manufacture, Sale & Possession of Handguns.
In 1996, State Senator Barack Obama answered a questionnaire and stated that he supported a complete ban on semi-automatic firearms, [inaccurately referred to as assault weapons] supported mandatory waiting periods, and supported a complete ban on the manufacture and sale of handguns. [Claims by Senator Barack Obama that a staffer filed out the form were proven false.] Those same objectives were supported by State Senator Barack Obama in a 1998 political awareness test. During a 2004 debate for the US Senate seat, Barack Obama mocked his opponent for not supporting a ban on "assault weapons" which he said had only one purpose, to kill people."
[The firearms Barack Obama wants to ban, including the AR-15 among many others is a commonly owned rifle used for hunting, target shooting and self defense!]
January 1, 1998
Barack Obama was a board member on the Chicago based Joyce foundation [a Marxist organization] which funded at least nine grants totaling nearly $2.7 million to groups that advocated the opposite positions as those of pro second amendment organizations.

January 1, 2000
Barack Obama co-sponsors a bill to limit firearm purchases to one gun a month.
Barack Obama also voted against allowing people to violate local gun bans in cases of self-defense!

February 20, 2001
Barack Obama said, "No reason why anybody should need an assault weapon." [The second amendment is not a bill of needs!]

April 27, 2004
Barack Obama said, he continues to oppose concealed carry.
"I didn't find that [vote] surprising. I mean, I am consistently on record and will continue to be on record as opposing concealed carry," Obama said. "This was a narrow exception in an exceptional circumstance where a retired police officer might find himself vulnerable as a consequence of the work he had previously done--and had been trained extensively in the proper use of firearms." [The reality is most police are not trained extensively in the use of firearms--and many non police have extensive training!]
October 21, 2004

Barack Obama voted for 2005 amendment that would ban almost all rifle ammunition, if it can be used in a handgun and is capable of penetrating soft body armor typically worn by law enforcement.
Since all rifle ammunition will pierce soft armor worn by law enforcement, this amendment would have effectively banned all rifle ammunition used by hunters and target shooters.
January 31, 2006
Barack Obama votes against Samuel Alito for Supreme Court justice.
Barack Obama has said he would not have nominated Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court. It was Justice Scalia who wrote the majority opinion in D.C. v. Heller, which declared that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to keep and bear arms, and that D.C.’s handgun ban is unconstitutional. Justice Thomas joined in that opinion. As a member of the U.S. Senate Barack Obama also voted against confirming Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito, both of whom joined Justice Scalia’s majority opinion in Heller.
October 17, 2006
Barack Obama said, "I believe in keeping guns out of our inner cities."
April 22, 2007
Barack Obama said, he favors a ban on standard capacity ammunition magazines.
[Standard capacity magazines being anywhere from six to forty plus rounds, depending upon the gun.]
"The second area which may be fought by the NRA, but I think has to be looked at is the availability of 19-round clips. I’m a strong believer in the rights of hunters and sportsmen to have firearms. I’m a believer in homeowners having a firearms to protect their home and their family. It’s hard for me to find a rationale for a 19-clip semi-automatic. I said at a forum earlier this week, ‘If you need 19 rounds to shoot a deer, you probably shouldn't be hunting’ and so that I think is something that we should be able to have a reasonable conversation about."
[Here Barack Obama reasons from self protection to hunting deer--one has nothing to do with the other--as many rounds are often needed to stop violent aggression, whereas few are typically needed for deer hunting, but in some hunting situations many rounds are needed!]
February 15, 2008
Barack Obama said, Micro-stamping is A "Common-Sense Law."
[Micro-stamping does nothing to prevent crime.]

November 13, 2008

February 25, 2009
Eric Holder [Attorney General] said, Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban.
The Obama administration will seek to reinstate the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004 during the Bush administration, Eric Holder, "As President Obama indicated during the campaign, there are just a few gun-related changes that we would like to make, and among them would be to re-institute the ban on the sale of assault weapons". [By a few he means completely banning all private ownership of guns!]
During his confirmation hearing, Eric Holder told the Senate Judiciary Committee about other gun control measures the Obama administration may consider.
"I think closing the gun show loophole, the banning of cop-killer bullets and I also think that making the assault weapons ban permanent, would be something that would be permitted under Heller," Holder said, referring to the Supreme Court ruling in Washington, D.C. v. Heller, which asserted the Second Amendment as an individual's right to own a weapon. [There are no cop killer bullets--it is a made up term by those who want to ban guns and ammunition!] [There is no "gun show loophole"--all of the same laws apply to gun purchases at gun shows.] [Also there were no assault weapons listed in the Clinton gun ban--but rather guns were banned based upon appearance rather than function.]
April 16, 2009
Barack Obama speaking alongside Mexican President Felipe Calderón, said he has "not backed off at all" on a campaign pledge to try to restore the gun ban--which was illegally imposed by executive order by Bill Clinton.
April 22, 2009

Sunstein delivered a keynote speech at Harvard University’s 2007 “Facing Animals” conference and said, “We ought to ban hunting, I suggest, if there isn’t a purpose other than sport and fun. That should be against the law. It’s time now.”
May 26, 2009

May 10, 2010
Barack Obama nominates anti-gun Elena Kagan for Supreme Court justice.

[Which by extension means he wants to ban many commonly owned and used firearms in America--e.g., the AR-15 and the AK-47.]
August 6, 2012
Barack Obama affirms support for renewing semi-automatic rifle and magazine size ban.
Press conference question, His position [Barack Obama] in the past has been in favor of renewing the assault weapons ban, which would, at this point, be a new law. He also said in New Orleans that "AK-47s belong on the battlefield", not on the streets. Does he still support that legislation?
J CARNEY, "He does!" "And I’ve said that before from the podium in the last week, that he does support renewing the assault weapons ban."

Barack Obama calls for reintroduction of semi-automatic firearm ban.
Barack Obama said, "And so what I’m trying to do is to get a broader conversation about how do we reduce the violence generally. Part of it is seeing if we can get an assault weapons ban reintroduced."
