Re: the OP...which has gotten lost in the discussion.
Is it reasonable to conclude that Obama's voting record is not as "anti-gun" as they come...unless you choose to ignore his stated reasons for voting against particular bills but believe the NRA misrepresentation of his votes?

Is it reasonable to conclude that Obama's position on gun control is not extreme, but rather in line with the majority of Americans?

The general measures he supports like a background check at gun shows and child safety devices are supported by 2 out of 3 Americans.

He supports stiffer prosecution of gun crimes.

And yes, he supports the AWB...and so does a significant the majority of Americans. Harris poll - 71% support, Annenberg poll - 68% support (including 57% gun owners), Consumer Federation of America poll - 67% support (including 56% gun owners).

Public Attitudes Toward Gun Control

SO please, tell me again how Obama's position is extreme or out of the mainstream and not just NRA generated "fear" rhetoric?
