Interesting comments from all. ZeSpectre, the comments in the Washington Post were humorous, both from the far left, and the far right. I personally will be watching his actions, which so far I view favorably, only time will tell. One comment about his past anti-gun stance. He was elected by the citizens of Chicago to be their representative. If the majority of Chicago citizens favored gun control, he was doing his job as their representative. I think our country would be far better off if all the representatives followed the will of their constituents, rather than a personal agenda. As the elected President of the entire United States, I hope he is going to follow the will of the majority of Americans who favor 2nd amendment rights. So far his administrations first action to do with gun control seems to indicate he is. In my humble opinion.
