The White House is set to propose new gun legislation next week to capitalize on the emotion caused by the horrific Sandy Hook massacre. With that in mind, let’s look back to 2004 when Barack Obama was an Illinois State Senator to find out if we will likely see bipartisan legislation next week.
Back then, a Chicago man shot an intruder to
his home to protect himself and his home.
He was later fined $750 for violating the handgun ban. Most thought this
was wrong and the government overwhelmingly and with bipartisan support passed
legislation creating an exception to the handgun ban in order to defend one’s
home.
Regrettably, State Senator Obama was not part of the
overwhelming bipartisan support for this bill that would allow people to protect
their home from an intruder. So in that
light, what do you think the new gun control proposals coming from the White House
next week will be like?
