Obama Backing Off Gun Control?

Is Obama already sprinting to the middle in prep for the election? Perhaps. The candidate, who voted a pretty standard anti-gun ticket while an Illinois senator, had this to say Saturday nightabout the campaign against McCain:

"If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun."

The line drew cheers from the crowd. Maybe they've had enough of Obama's "new politics" jibberish, seeing it for what it is, just so much politician-speak.
