Although Obama is proclaimed as a 'new face' in the Democratic party, he parrots the same gun control mantras common to old line Democrats. In fact, he may go publicly further than the average Democrat by advocating for a ban on all semiautomatic firearms.
Sportsmen should find Barack Obama's stand on gun control to be reprehensible.
In 1999 Obama suggested a law that would prevent all gun stores within a five mile radius of schools and parks (See Obama's Draconian Gun Control). The white area is the calculated exclusion zone for a 50 mile radius around Denver for just schools. Parks have not been brought into the equation yet. Each pushpin represents a school.
It is interesting to note that all of Boulder County east of the mountains is in the exclusion zone as is the entire city of Denver.
Update: The map has been updated and covers the I-25 corridor for all of Colorado. The exclusion zone extends from north of Fort Collins to south of Colorado Springs varying from about 5 miles to probably 60 miles wide.
In May of 2003, the Senate considered House Bill 2579. The bill was about secret compartments in cars. Quickly the bill was completely gutted and replaced by language criminalizing the acquisition of more than one handgun in a thirty day period.
Obama felt this to be a particulary important piece of legislation and goes on for more than a page about this "very measured, modest regulation" starting on page 120 of the day's transcripts.
Obama voted for House Bill 2579, as amended. The bill failed to pass the Illinois Senate.
Made it legal for someone to possess a firearm without an FOID card as long as they were in the direct supervision of someone with an FIOD card. The bill became law.
"Amends the Criminal Code of 1961. Provides that the Department of State Police shall publish a list of handguns having a barrel, slide, frame or receiver that is a die casting of zinc alloy or any other nonhomogeneous metal which will melt or deform at a temperature of less than 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Provides that a building used for the unlawful sale of firearms may be abated as a public nuisance only if the person using the building for the unlawful sale has been convicted of the offense and the Department of State Police has published the list of prohibited firearms. Effective immediately."
This bill was to notify gun owners when their gun was the subject of records request or search. The bill would have allowed the owner to have his trace information destroyed under certain circumstances. During this time Daley was trying to use trace information to use in gun manufacturer lawsuits.
Obama voted against the bill. It passed but the governor vetoed it.
"Amends the Criminal Code of 1961. Provides that it is an affirmative defense to a violation of a municipal ordinance that prohibits, regulates, or restricts the private ownership of firearms if the individual who is charged with the violation used the firearm in an act of self-defense or defense of another. Effective immediately."
Obama voted against this bill twice. It passed anyway. The governor vetoed and the legislature overrode the veto.
There may be more bills that I have yet to find. If you know of any or find any searching the legislature's site, please email me.
I am always looking for information on Obama from Obama himself. This morning I ran into this little video:
Apparently 64 pages amounts to "boxes and boxes of specifics"! So, I did as instructed and went to www.barackobama.com and looked for his blueprint. It is tough to find, but click on "Issues".
Searching the 64 pages, you will find "gun" and "firearm" exactly zero times.
In the Huffington Post, we finally get clarity from Obama himself. Taking on The Lobby makes it clear that Obama thinks California gun law should be taken national.
Quoting:
After the horror that was Northern Illinois University Thursday afternoon, Barack Obama announced Friday morning that, as a constitutional attorney, he supports the Second Amendment right to bear arms, thinks it doesn't only apply to the militia, and that he also plans to use California gun control legislation as a paradigm for a national policy to contain the spread of gun violence.
But, is it really possible to have it both ways? Can one support the right to bear arms, as well as implement the kind of national gun control legislation that will stem the flood of shootings on our nation's campuses, streets, and homes? Essentially, the question is, should Senator Obama become President Obama would he be prepared to take on the most powerful, and influential, congressional lobby outside of the tobacco industry, the gun lobby?
After the spate of campus killings at Columbine, Virginia Tech, and now at Northern Illinois, there is little doubt that the former president, and his attorney general brother, Robert F. Kennedy, would be hard at work on gun control legislation now. Obama is fond of this quote from President John F. Kennedy: "Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate," but is he any more ready for hand to hand combat with those who put their rifles next to Gideon's Bible in Motel 6's from Idaho to Alaska, those who are the most obstinant opponents of restrictions on the possession, manufacture, and sale of firearms? He suggests that he would support legislation on the order of gun laws implemented, in California, during Gray Davis' tenure as governor.
So, what does that mean? As a start, how about:
Handgun registration.
Approved firearm lists determined by politicians.
Assault weapons registrations and bans.
A fifty caliber ban.
Discretionary concealed carry.
And the list is expanding. California has passed an ammunition encoding requirement recently to go into effect January 1, 2010. So expect registration of ammunition purchases.
If this is Obama's concept of "supports the Second Amendment right to bear arms", I would hate to see what would happen to any right he does not believe in.
For a more complete view of California gun law, I suggest Calgunlaws as a start.

Feb 15, 12:14 PM (ET)By NEDRA PICKLER MILWAUKEE (AP) - Barack Obama says the country must do "whatever it takes" to eradicate gun violence but believes in the right to bear arms.Obama says he's offered his Senate office to help Northern Illinois University with the investigation into a campus shooting rampage. The shooting happened in his home state. Obama was campaigning in neighboring Wisconsin.The senator, a former constitutional law instructor, says he believes the Second Amendment to the Constitution grants individual gun rights.But he says it's subject to commonsense regulations like background checks.
I just have to ask: After everything he has said and done, does he actually think we believe or trust him?
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Democratic Sen. Barack Obama assured Western voters Saturday he believes in Jesus as well as the rights of gun owners. The presidential candidate warned people about hoax e-mails they may get saying he’s secretly a Muslim who might want to destroy the United States. “I’ve been going to the same church for 20 years, praising Jesus,” the Illinois senator told more than 10,000 people packed into Boise State’s basketball arena. He is a member of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago… …”And then there are people who say, ‘well he doesn’t believe in the Second Amendment,’ even though I come from a state — we’ve got a lot of hunters in downstate Illinois. And I have no intention of taking away folks’ guns.” Obama didn’t mention that he does support gun control and has a record of voting for it in the Illinois Senate. He backed limiting handgun purchases to one a month, but he made no attempts to ban them. Today, he stands by his support for controls while trying to reassure hunters that he has no interest in interfering with their access to firearms.
Well I have a few questions:
Barack, do you support my right to carry bowling balls? How about those extra-heavy, 15 pound, assault balls?
Do you support my right to shoot someone in my apartment who has invaded, unannounced and uninvited pointing a knife or gun at me?
How about if I live in the Chicago slums?
How about if I live downstate a mile from my nearest neighbor, 20 miles from the nearest cop?
These questions may seem completely unrelated, but according to Barack, they are not.
According to Barack, the Second Amendment is about hunting traditions from rural areas and has nothing to do with individual's rights.
And according to Barack, hunters should have access to guns while those in the inner city should be restricted because of the danger.
I am not sure where is he going with this or how he might attempt to accomplish it, but it sounds like we are heading back towards the racist roots of gun control.
A golfer must possess flawless technique, extreme timing and a wish to learn and develop if he wants success in the game of golf. He must showcase all these characteristics in various ways to finish every game with a required score.
An integral part of every golfer’s swing (known as swing path) plays an important role in it. The game flourishing and faltering can be determined by the golfer’s swing path.
The arc of the golf club head is known as the golf swing path. The path arcs upward through the top of the swing while it begins with the takeaway, and then it moves toward the target down through the ball. There are different factors that can be used to break down a golfer’s swing path such as the takeaway, stance, swing tempo and the posture. An individual’s golf swing path can also be defined by three separate ways: Upright, flat and neutral.
During the first few feet of any swing, the takeaway happens and it is only a short part of the swing, however, it plays an important role in golfer’s swing path. The swing will generally be flat or all the three separate ways of golf swing path. With continuous practice and proper tutelage, you can correct any golf swing path that you have and you can make it perfect.
The importance of knowing which takeaway you possess: –
You should identify the type of takeaway that you have and also the way to improve it. You are ahead of the game if you already possess a neutral takeaway. Repetition is the only thing that you need in order to golf at your best. However, there is much work to do if you have either an upright or flat takeaway.
Using the hip turning instead shoulder follow-through, a quick swing tempo and a weak grip on the club are some general causes of flat takeaway. A golfer may be lead to having a flat takeaway due to any one or combination of these, which results in a flat golf swing path. Having too strong of a grip the golf, using too much arm and shoulder, Overcompensation on thin shots and less hip movement are some of the common reasons for an upright takeaway.
A golfer with a flat takeaway have more work to do than those with an upright takeaway, but it still needs to be identified by both sets of golfers that which group they fall into. In order to play with a neutral takeaway, the golfers must make the proper adjustment as it improves their overall game drastically.
If you want to place your club on the right golf swing path then the proper way of starting your swing is to bump your hip. Your golf swing path will no longer remain directly target’s path but it will instantly change slightly once your shoulders start to go backward.
We hope that now you’ll be able to make more of your golf swing path.

Your home is one of your greatest accomplishments. It is the one place in this world that you can call yours and truly enjoy peace when you want to just get away. Water Damage Restoration Dallas is much more than a stack of bricks and a roof that covers it. It is your own personal place of refuge and there is no end to what this is worth to have. For these reasons, to name a few, it should be of great importance for you to keep your house in good condition. You need to do what you can to keep the elements from taking their toll on your home, as things such as rain can eventually cause pretty serious water damage to many of the exterior items of your home such as your deck. Fortunately, preventing water damage to your deck can be avoided easily if you know how to do it.
The deck on the back of your Texas home is constructed of wood that has been treated with a chemical that is supposed to help the wood withstand the elements and prevent deterioration. While this does help a little, over a short period of time you will see the first signs of weather beaten wood if you do not take any additional preventative measures. There are many products on the market to help make the wood on your deck more durable, as well as beautify it to your taste. There are stains and paints specifically for the exterior wood of a home that will not only make it stand up to water better, but will also make the wood look the way you want it to so that it will flow with the design and decor of your home better.
If you have just built a new deck, you will want to be sure to wait for several hot and dry days to allow the pressure treated wood to dry and cure before you will be able to do anything to it. After it has dried out well, you will want to take a low powered pressure washer and clean the entire deck really well. After this step, you will want to allow the wood to dry again for a few days. Now you are ready to apply your desired sealant, whether it is a stain or paint, and seal the deck evenly with a paint brush. You may want to apply a few coats for the best results. Be sure to do this when you know that the weather will be sunny and dry for several days afterwards. This is a process you will want to do repeatedly every few years in Dallas, depending on the sealant manufacturer’s recommendations.
If you have a deck that already exists and is in need of sealing, you will want to first clean it well with a medium size pressure washer. Be sure not to get the stream of water too close to the wood, as it could possibly result in putting holes in the wood. Once it is clean and you have replaced any boards that my have been rotted or in need of repair for whatever reason, you are ready to go through the same process as mentioned above. This will allow you to bring your old deck back to like new condition.
There is one more easy way to avoid water damage to your deck that I would like to mention and it actually doesn’t involve wood at all. A popular product that started up North and is now getting national attention years later is synthetic decking materials. These pieces of composite boards actually have a look very similar to wood but do not get affected by water and other outdoor elements as wood does. This is an excellent alternative to using real wood if you don’t mind paying a little more money up front.
Every man knows that the essential thing in golf is choosing a good putter. Not only does it make your posture straight, it also makes your swing flexible and within the eye range.
Having a good putter means more confidence, more comfort and eventually more success. However, do you know what things you should consider what are the best golf putters? If not, stick with us and read these tips about picking out a good golf putter.
A key to a good putter
There is a variety of putters on the market, which really makes your buying easy and more dynamic. However, with the variety comes indecisiveness or inability to know the features that you should look for. So, here’s the list of essential things you should consider when buying a putter:
Length first…
All golfers would agree that the length of a putter is the most important feature of a golf equipment. In golf, it’s all about getting into the right position and making your body comfortable enough to make a long swing. When you are tilting down from your hips, you want a putter to fit your set-up to give you eyes over the ball, hands under your shoulders, elbows bent and hips over your heels. With the right length of a putter, a shaft will be in line with your forearms, making your body relaxed enough to make a good swing. Unfortunately, the majority of players choose clubs with the wrong putter length.
…Then weight
The second important feature of a
good putter is its weight. Too heavy putter means shorter and slower swings, and too light putter means you won’t get much control over your swings because it will feel too light in your hands. An ideal weight of a putter is when you achieve a certain swing weight on a certain length, which allows you to make a strong swing.
Make sure you get the right balance
The balance point is another feature worth considering when buying a good putter. Generally, there are two kinds of putters in regards to the balance – a face balanced and a toe balanced putter. When a putter is facing the sky when you’re holding your shaft parallel to the grounds, that’s a face balanced putter. When a toe is facing the sky, then it’s a toe balanced putter. The difference between the two is reflected on a type of a stroke you need. For a square to square stroke, face balanced putter will be a better choice than the toe balanced one. If you want a nice arc stroke, you should pick a toe balanced putter instead.
Relax and choose a head design
Choosing a head design doesn’t have much in common with the aerodynamics and preferences – it’s purely a matter of aesthetics.
Players have different affinities towards putter head design, but the biggest dilemma is whether you like a mallet head or a blade head, with sight line or with none. Again, the choice depends on the type of the stroke you need – a square to square stroke is better with mallet head putter, while a blade headed one with a good sight line is the best choice for an arc stroke.
Aadhar card is a biometric identity card that is linked to a government database. It employs an universal ID number which you can use in various situations that requires assistance or benefits from a government related services.
If you’re not sure how this is beneficial for you, then read our list of what does having this card can do for you.

Easy access – with aadhar card you will have an immediate access to any government assistance or benefits. With a direct access to the resources, you will save much time on the process of application or filling in forms.
Quicker to LPG subsidiary – a 12 digits identification number on an aadhar card is linked directly to your LPG subsidy. That means the amount of the subsidy is automatically transferred to your bank account each month.
A new passport in under 10 days – another great thing is that you can have a new passport in under 10 days. Since all your personal data is stored in government database, you are just a click away from a new passport. And you can even request it from a comfort of your home.
Opening a new bank account – as with any other technical issue that requires a paperwork, you will be thrilled by the fact that you don’t have to wait in lines anymore. With one simple step you can easily open a new bank account just entering your aadhar card number and filling in the forms online. Having an aadhar card doesn’t require collecting a bunch of documents and files as is the case when you’re not using an aadhar card.
Digital life certificate – an aadhar card is secured and locked with digital locker, an application that allows you to store your personal data and use it in exchange for different administrative and government services and benefits.
Receipt of monthly pension – your monthly pension can be delivered directly to you. Just link your aadhar card number to a your respective government department and set up an automatic transfer of your monthly pension on your bank account.
