On the balance of evidence, however, Obama's admin likely will be no worse for gun owners than the Clinton admin. In the face of what seems to be panic among gun owners, I am advocating a calm watch, not acquiescence. I believe you.

The same text was then transferred to whitehouse.gov after the election. When challenged by a questioner (I think at a town-hall type thing) he said he wouldn't try to take anyone's guns "because he didn't even have the votes he'd need" to do it. Very reassuring. There's a wide range of folks running around saying that Obama never said this or never said that blah blah blah.

My general searches about Obama seem to reveal that he is 'on the fence' wrt general firearm ownership, and is hostile to 'Assault Weapons', but not simpler arms. The latest excuse is the Drug War mess on the Mexican border. I cannot find any recorded election=time promise that he would seek even to reinstate ban Assault Weapons. This is from Politifact.com btw. The only gun related election related promise he has apparently made was to repeal gun tracing limitations. http://tinyurl.com/akayro He has notably been willing to expand gun rights if it means winning critical votes.
