The Rest of The Story--Ron Paul and the Second Amendment

From Ron Paul's Website:

I share our Founders' belief that in a free society each citizen must
have the right to keep and bear arms. They ratified the Second
Amendment knowing that this right is the guardian of every other
right, and they all would be horrified by the proliferation of
unconstitutional legislation that prevents law-abiding Americans from
exercising this right.

I have always supported the Second Amendment and these are some of the
bills I have introduced in the current Congress to help restore
respect for it:

H.R. 1096 includes provisions repealing the Brady Handgun Violence
Prevention Act and the Federal Firearms License Reform Act of 1993,
two invasive and unconstitutional bills.
H.R. 1897 would end the ban on carrying a firearm in the National Park
System, restoring Americans' ability to protect themselves in
potentially hazardous situations.
H.R. 3305 would allow pilots and specially assigned law enforcement
personnel to carry firearms in order to protect airline passengers,
possibly preventing future 9/11-style attacks.
H.R. 1146 would end our membership in the United Nations, protecting
us from their attempts to tax our guns or disarm us entirely.

In the past, I introduced legislation to repeal the so-called "assault
weapons" ban before its 2004 sunset, and I will oppose any attempts to
reinstate it.

I also recently opposed H.R. 2640, which would allow government-
appointed psychiatrists to ban U.S. veterans experiencing even mild
forms of Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome from ever owning a gun.

You have the right to protect your life, liberty, and property. As
President, I will continue to guard the liberties stated in the Second
Amendment.

So, what is the rest of the story? He will allow any nut case to carry
a gun in a National Park. Lets see: Acadia, The American Memorial,
Assateague Island, Cape Cod National Seashore, Central High School
Nat'l Historic Site, Mount Rushmore, etc, etc....all nice family
places. What a great idea!

He does not say where he "will" support the control of guns being
carried. What is the rest of the story?
