Obama: Showing his True Stripes

Obama has avoided direct confrontations with gun owners over gun control legislation. That doesn't make him our friend or indicate in any way he supports the Second Amendment. He is not above using bureaucratic arms of the government to push an anti-gun agenda. Case in point is the program that trains and approves flight deck officers to carry firearms on board aircraft. He's moving monies from the training and approval of those officers to their oversight when their is no apparent need. Is this a Second Amendment issue? Probably not but it does show where the Administration stands on the possession of firearms by civilians for defense of self or others or the prevention of man-made disasters.
