Obama to a crowd in Idaho:

“There are people who say he doesn’t believe in the Second Amendment,” Obama told the crowd, “We got a lot hunters in the state of Illinois and I have no intention of taking away folks’ guns.”

While Obama’s intention not is to not take away or ban guns, but is an advocate for gun control -– this consistency of his stance has been brought into question in the past. Obama said on a questionnaire in 1996 that he “supported banning the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns.” Later he countered that this questionnaire was filled out by an aide who misrepresented his views. Since, he has had a legislative record supporting restrictions on gun ownership.

Meanwhile Hillary Clinton was one of the people questioning Obama’s position saying Saturday:

Sen. Hillary Clinton took aim at Sen. Barack Obama’s conflicting positions on gun control.

“He has to speak to his own record, which has obviously changed over a relatively short period of time,” Clinton said in response to a reporter’s question “My understanding is that really within the space of four or five years, he’s had several positions on a number of really challenging issues. You’ll have to ask him why he has so rapidly changed position from year to year.”
