I just read an article on factcheck.org that was examining the so-called "10 Point Plan to Change the Second Amendment" by Barack Obama. http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2...ets_obama.html The article shows a quote by Senator Obama in 2004 that he was "opposed" to concealed carry.

My question is: How would or could a President Obama ban concealed carry both legally and politically?

Specifically, would Heller be an obstacle and more importantly if the authority for concealed carry resides within 48 (I believe) state legislatures would a ban be workable politically?

What would be the legal and political mechanism and fallout from an attempt to ban concealed carry in every state.

Would it such a move violate the 10th Amendment?
