Yes, Obama is a huge flip-flopper on guns. After all, he should've vowed to appeal the Supreme Court higher, to the Super-Duper Supreme Court!
Remember, candidates don't just react to a Supreme Court ruling clearly delineating an individual liberty, they REVERSE it!! They go after it head-on!! It's not like gun rights are a sensitive issue that Democrats nationally have stayed away from. (Hell, it's not like Hillary didn't praise guns and gun ownership in Pennsylvania!) No way, Obama should've started running on an anti-gun platform!
This is how this fake flip-flop meme has been created. Through terrible reporting by a media desperate to have a paint-by-numbers narrative this election.
As a matter of fact that is exactly what the Republicans have done. They reversed the Supreme Court by packing it with conservatives.
I don't think asking that a Democratic president commit to fixing that, rather than acquiesce to it, is unreasonable.
He has to become President first.
Yes, "I'll pack the court with judges who will reverse this decision!" is a winning campaign pledge.
There are a ton of Democrats out there who agree with the decision. Unless you're Carolyn McCarthy, no one's going to be campaigning on gun control these days. For all the b.s. talk about "elitism," it's time others realize that not everyone sees it their way on guns.
