Lie #10: Gun show kits.

Gracchus says:

That’s exactly what I meant. The clarification is welcome. That said, I don’t give exceptions for the semi-automatic assault rifles that can easily be turned into full-autos with those gun-show kits.


Above said kits do not exist. Any weapon that can be readily converted to fire fully automatic (without re-machining the firearm) is already regulated as a fully automatic weapon.

Lie #9: "Nothing about Obama’s candidacy or history..."

phantom power says:
It’s amazing. Nothing about Obama’s candidacy or history suggests that gun law is on his agenda, but people just make shit up, and then other people start to believe it.


Taken from Barack Obama's Agenda:

Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent.


Yes. Gun law is on his agenda.

Gun law is in his history as well:
