Should President Obama take on the NRA now or should he wait until his Second Term?

I never cease to be astounded by you gun control types. First off, you people are the ones pulling imaginary, ethereal rights out of some misreading of the Constitution, but refuse to acknowledge rights stated in the plain language. Second, the ownership of weapons by all citizens was specifically contemplated as a check to governmental over reach - private ownership of weapons was a reality in colonial America and part of the reason the revolution got off the ground. As to them not contemplating weapons we have today, I see no footnote in the Bill of rights limiting the right of an 18th century American to own anything from a pistol to a canon. Regarding gun violence - how about Chicago or DC? Strictest gun laws in the country and some of the worst gun violence. I'm sure its all card carrying NRA members. Show me the stats that crimes committed with legally purchased/owned firearms are a major problem. Idiots.
