Gun Ban is unconstitutional, then that would almost bring up questions about Obama’s support for Chicago’s gun ban (in place since 1983). If he feels that ban is unconstitutional, why didn’t he ever work to get it overturned?" Because the DC gun ban is mandated at the federal level, it is unconstitutional. Local government in Chicago has the right to enact gun control law within its jurisdiction. There is no hypocrisy or inconsistency in Obama's actions here whatsoever.

Let him stand on his voting record and the anti gun organizations that he has belonged to over the years. Now he is trying to disassemble what he has said but his voting record in Illinois and in the Senate of the United States is public record and can't be erased. Forget about the 2nd Amendment if Senator Obama is elected.

He's clearly changing for political reasons. My advice would be to say when he was in the Illinois senate he was representing the people of that state, but as president he would be representing the whole country. Thats the best I can come up with. That along with a 'states rights' argument, and saying he's changed his mind about the issue.
