John Lott has this very interesting op-ed, tracking Senator Obama’s support for broad gun control measures … support that seems to have evaporated with the Pennsylvania primary just a few weeks away. Lott quotes a personal exchange with Obama in which Obama said directly to Lott, “I don’t believe that people should be able to own guns.”
It will be interesting to see what exactly Obama says about his position on gun control during the campaign. Based on the evidence cited by Lott, it looks like he has taken a fairly consistent position in favor of banning handguns and perhaps some other guns as well.
