Where does Obama ACTUALLY stand on the 2nd Amendment?

Obama has consistently supported gun control legislation that came up while he was in the Illinois state legislature and the U.S. Senate.

For example, when Obama ran for the Illinois state senate the political group, Independent Voters of Illinois (IVI), asked him if he supported a “ban [on] the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns” and he responded “yes.”

Realizing how damaging this could prove in the general election, his presidential campaign “flatly denied” Obama ever held this view, blaming it instead on a staffer from his state senate race.

Judging from his comments about "clinging to guns" it would seem that he takes a dim view of this patriotic, time-honored tradition. He's singing one tune, but his feet are moving to a different song. Explain.

The was written by John Lott, the author of "Freedomnomics. What did you expect him to say??

Obama has addressed this .
In 2000: Obama cosponsored bill to limit purchases to 1 gun per month. Does that sound like he wants to ban all guns?

More Obama thoughts on guns:

Stop unscrupulous gun dealers dumping guns in cities. (Jul 2007)
Keep guns out of inner cities--but also problem of morality. (Oct 2006)
Ban semi-automatics, and more possession restrictions. (Jul 1998)

Here is a direct quote that tells exactly how he feels....

" Because I think we have two conflicting traditions in this country. I think it's important for us to recognize that we've got a tradition of handgun ownership and gun ownership generally. And a lot of law-abiding citizens use it for hunting, for sportsmanship, and for protecting their families. We also have a violence on the streets that is the result of illegal handgun usage. And so I think there is nothing wrong with a community saying we are going to take those illegal handguns off the streets. And cracking down on the various loopholes that exist in terms of background checks for children, the mentally ill. We can have reasonable, thoughtful gun control measure that I think respect the Second Amendment and people's traditions. "
