So, Which One Is It Mr. Obama

You're not going to take our guns away? Please, can one of his followers explain this then?

A double barrel shotgun is an "assault weapon". Yes, it's true. Not fearmongering, not sensationalism. Here's the explanation

Section b 1 A (x) sets the caliber ban. Everything from a 28 ga. on down are > 50 caliber.

Later on in the exceptions it says this:

"Semiautomatic assault weapon" does not include:
(A) any firearm that:
(i) is manually operated by bolt, pump, lever or slide action;

Well... I've got news for you, their definitions leave off any break-open action weapon, including all single shot, side-by-side, and over-under shotguns. That means that you'd have had 90 days to surrender them, destroy them, or get them out of state.

So, whether by ignorance or malice, my bet is that Mr. Obama would sign a similar bill if it came across his desk in D.C.
