apparently you don't understand how those were passed into law.

The national parks allowing concealed weapons was an executive order or "11th hour" decision by Bush Jr.

Obama worked to overturn that decision and it was put on hold thanks to a federal judge decision.

Ultimately the allowing of carry in national parks was added to the credit card reform package which Obama pushed for. He was forced into allowing concealed carry in national parks or else he would have had to veto his credit card reform act.


As to Amtrack, Senator Roger Wicker (R) of Miss attached the amendment to allow weapons as checked baggage as part of a $1.5 billion transportation funding bill. The amendment passed the senate 68-30
Obama had nothing to do with this.

On the other hand Obama ordered that 850,000 M1s from Korea not be imported for sale to US residents (such as through the CMP).
Clinton blocked sales of M1s from Phillipeans, Turkey and Pakistan

Yet Reagan allowed 200,000 M1s from South Korea.

And the guns that were blocked by Obama were GIVEN to Korea. so...m parents and grandparents tax dollars were used to build these rifles for the government to give to a foreign country and now they are not allowed back in for me to enjoy.

Let us also not forget the recent executive privilege regarding fast and furious. More than likely those documents would implicate Obama in the scandal. I can only hope one day we find out the truth.
I believe fast and furious was a program Obama saw as a way to enact gun control if it was seen that "illegal" guns were being used by drug traffickers and cartels to create chaos on the southern border.

But yeah...Obama has been great to us gun owners so far...
