Reality Bytes and Pieces

In 1999, then State Senator Barack Obama proposed a federal law banning licensed gun shops from operating within five miles of a school or park because, obviously, he was concerned about kids getting shot by gun shop patrons eager to play with their new toys. Duh!

However, as National Review’s Jim Geraghty reported in his March 3 column, “Obama appears to find another kind of establishment to be perfectly fine operating near your children’s school.”

“Obama was also the sole present vote on a bill that easily passed the Senate that would require teaching respect for others in schools. He also voted present on a measure to prohibit sex-related shops from opening near schools or places of worship, which ultimately did not pass the Senate.

“In both of those cases, his campaign said, he was trying to avoid mandates on local authorities.

“The bill did not get the required three-fifths majority, so it did not in fact pass. (Mr. Obama voted “present” on the measure.)” 

Geraghty brilliantly summarized the Obama voting phenomenon asking, “Why on God’s green earth does Barack Obama object to mandates on local authorities for porn shops but not for gun stores? Or conversely, why does he feel it’s necessary to keep gun stores five miles from a school, but no limit on porn shops?”
