NRA ad: “Imagine”
Here is the proof that they are referring to:
- Hale DeMar confronted a burglar in his home in December 2003 and shot him twice, forcing the burglar to flee and to seek medical care. Police arrested Mario Billings at the hospital, but they also charged DeMar with a misdemeanor for owning a handgun
- SB2165, was filed within three weeks of the incident, and took four months to wend its way through the legislature.
- On May 25, 2004, the bill finally passed both houses ” but without the support of Barack Obama.  He voted against SB2165, which didn’t even go so far as to remove the Wilmette handgun ban, but only prevented enforcement in cases of real self-defense. It passed nonetheless, 41-16.
- However, the governor vetoed the bill almost three months later, while the legislature was out of session. The original sponsor, Edward Petka, then moved to override the veto in November, and Obama didn’t vote at all on this day. The veto got overridden anyway.

Obama would be the single most anti gun president to ever be elected. If you don’t believe he has disdain for anyone owning a firearm, read his comments about the people in PA being bitter and clinging to their guns and religion with antipathy (that’s rich considering his OBVIOUS disdain for gun owners) towards people different than them.
The phrase “Fear the government that fears your guns” has never been truer.
