Obama – Gun Control?

If Obama is elected, will he have the power to pass any of these laws?

Please don’t post if you think it’s right or if it’s wrong. I simply want to know, if he likely has the power to do any of these, and if so – which?

1: Ban use of firearms for home defense.
2: Pass Federal laws eliminating your Right-To-Carry.
3: Ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns.
4: Close down 90 of the gun shops in America.
5: Ban rifle ammunition commonly used for hunting and sport shooting.
6: Increase federal taxes on guns and ammunition by 500 percent.
7: Restore voting rights for five million criminals including those who have been convicted of using a gun to commit a violent crime.
8: Expand the Clinton semi-auto ban to include millions more firearms.
9: Mandate a government-issued license to purchase a firearm.
10: Appoint judges to the U.S. Supreme Court and Federal judiciary who share his views on the second ammendment.

(I think the NRA published this list?)

Also, by power .. I also meant if he can "talk" congress into passing these laws

What should be the future of gun control laws in America?

After yesterdays school massacre do Americans think there should be stricter gun control laws. I know that there have been many incidents like this in the US and that working class black areas have long been plagued by gun crime. I know that in the US people see it as their constitutional right to bear arms but this was written in the 1700′s and technology has made weapons much more deadly since then. Where I live in Ireland there are problems with gun crime but on nowhere near the same scale as in the US. There is a lot of violent crime involving knives and other weapons here and I know for a fact that if people here had easier access to guns that crime would instantly rocket as criminals would have access to more deadly force. What price are Americans prepared to pay for their right to bear arms as I am aware that at the time of the Vietnam war that more Americans died from guncrime at home than died in Vietnam.

What are your views on gun laws?

I live in Canada, and the gun laws here are WAY too strict. The government makes it extremely difficult for an honest man who wants to hunt, or shoot a gun on his 30 acres of land or use for recreation. The government isn’t preventing criminals from acquiring fire arms, only people who have legitimate use for them. Allowing individuals to easily have fire arms would allow people to defend them selves, but in Canada, we do not have that right either.

So, what are the laws where you live? And how do you feel about Canadian, or American gun laws?
