The gun issue does not even register in my consideration with the economy and health issurance matters as huge as they are.

We have more important issues on our plate than guns. Like will we have a job, will we have a home, will we afford healthcare and education

I believe in our right to own guns and it is protected by the constitution. It is not as important to me as other issues in this election.

I know both Obama and McCain will support the 2nd amendment for those of us who use and store our guns responsibly

I don't own or want a gun and so I am not that interested in them. However I respect the fact that others are passionate about their guns.

The Constitution is important to me, Obama is a Constitutional Student, we, with guns, will be ok.

It's the economy stupid! Guns are an issue that mostly energizes the social conservatives.

Voting for a candidate based solely on his or her stance on guns is a stupid waste of a vote when there are so many more important issues!!

Pro Gun control and anti gun control is the least important thing I can think of. I have no problem with guns or the NRA. I also don't care

We are pro gun control AND own handguns but with constitutional protections it is too complex an issue to have a simple stance either way.

Obama has said he will not take our guns. He is on record for his stances on where he stands and I believe him.

Any progressive country has good gun control laws. The USA has to get rid of its redneck mentality and grow up

Anyone who would vote on such narrow issue must not realize the crisis this country is in. Too many guns fanatics around, not enough jobs

Common sense gun laws are important, but taking care of health care, the economy, and 2 wars are much more important.

Dont C difference in either's stance on guns. Except Obama's would make more sense if he is against easy rules obtaining handguns.

Gun control is just one issue. It is important to make a decision based on all of the issues. Obama will protect the 1st amendment.
