President Barack Obama is being blatantly disingenuous when he says he believes in the Second Amendment. He opposed it as recently as three years ago, and seems to be hoping that Americans dont know how to use something called Google to realize his actions contradict his words.
In his gun-control press conference we analyzed yesterday, Obama said: Let me be absolutely clear. Like most Americans, I believe the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to bear arms.
Flashback to 2008. Obama had secured the Democratic nomination, and needed to flush the anti-Second Amendment rhetoric he used against Hillary Clinton in the primaries to have a chance of winning the White House.

His one-word answer was: Yes.
