So I checked out Barack Obama’s campaign site to see what he says about guns there. There’s no formal position paper that I could find, but there is a speech that says this:
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 — but I also believe that when a gang-banger shoots indiscriminately into a crowd because he feels somebody disrespected him, we’ve got a moral problem. There’s a hole in that young man’s heart — a hole that the government alone cannot fix.
Any thoughts on what exactly “I believe in keeping guns out of our inner cities” might mean?
