ace...here is his voting record on federal legislation:
Project Vote Smart - Senator Barack H. Obama Jr. - Voting Record (under - gun issues)
You can twist his vote on the Firearms Protection Liability bill and say it would "have had the impact of banning almost all rifle ammunition" and I can say that blanket liability protection for gun manufacturers, bought and paid for by the NRA, is bullshit.

His position is that it is a local issue. If the majority of citizens of DC or San Fransisco or Boise or Witcha want to enact local laws that go farther than the Brady Act and pass a Constitutional test, that should be their right.
Its called federalism, something the right wants on other issues, but not guns...go figure.
