The NRA looks at Washington and sees a president who has been a foe throughout his career, a vice president who has been a foe throughout his career, a secretary of state who has been a foe throughout her career, and an attorney general who has been a foe throughout his career. Most ominously, Obama has made two Supreme Court picks who voted to uphold Chicago's blanket handgun ban, even though one of them (Sotomayor) had said under oath in her confirmation hearings that she understood "the individual right fully that the Supreme Court recognized" in overturning the District of Columbia's similar gun ban. (The D.C. case applied only to the federal government; the Chicago case "incorporated" the Second Amendment against state and local governments.)
