Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent.
I think this got all the gungrabber keywords: commonsense measures, won't somebody think of the children!, gunshow loophole, expanding the info the state has on you, and the Assault Weapons Ban.
Which prettmuch means they intent to restrict firearms in any way they can get away with.
Jim Geraghty weighs in.
How, precisely, does the Obama administration plan on "making guns in this country childproof"? Mandatory trigger locks?
That's a start. And how to they make sure everyone has said trigger locks? Well a national inspection and search would do.
Change!
Seriously, if you want a gun, buy one now, because it doesn't look like they really "respect" your rights.
UPDATE:
On the Barack Obama website there's a different version
Address Gun Violence in Cities: As president, Barack Obama would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals who shouldn't have them. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets
Emphasis added on the changes between versions.
