Obama Flip-Flop on Gun Control? Or New Politics? Or Both?

Barack Obama appeared at a fundraiser in Philadelphia last night where he delivered the following remark:
“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.”

A couple thoughts from McCain HQ on this. First, Barack Obama has a long track record as a proponent of stringent gun-control regulations–to the point that a questionnaire filled out by his staff, and with the candidate’s handwriting on it, stated that Obama favored a ban on the manufacture, sale, and distribution of handguns. Can we assume that Senator Obama now opposes efforts to ban the possession of handguns?

Second, would Obama be carrying a concealed weapon to this fight? Will he have a permit?

And finally, we’re having second thoughts about our proposed series of town halls.

Lee ADDS: A fact to consider.

As an admitted drug user Barak Obama may not be allowed a concealed weapons permit is many states! He does not fit the bill of being someone to be trusted with a concealed weapon!  This guy wants to be President? He is not trustworthy!
