HOWEVER, Obama has proved that he will push for gun control regardless of the political damage it does to him and his party AND he'll do it in extra-constitutional ways (Fast & Furious is but one example).


The big difference is that Romney does what will get him elected and re-elected (which for the foreseeable future is to act like a conservative). Obama will do whatever he damn well pleases (and Marxism and the end of America please him greatly).

Therefore your point that both of them will do the politically expedient thing is wrong. Obama is a pure ideologue.

If there was a viable third choice I'd be all over it, but there is no Magical Libertarian Unicorn Messiah that can win the election.
And not just gun control.

Obama has made overtures re: The Fairness Act which is an open attack on the first amendment rights of conservatives. He has enacted legislation further limiting the tenth - obamacare. He will attack your fourth amendment rights, it is just the natural progression of "for the common good" and "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need" and "the ends justify the means" philosophy.
