Back and forth, again and again
Since we are all here on a gun board, and the best gun board I know of, why not look at the election as it will likely affect our hobby/livlihood? I already know plenty about the Clintons and their ideas, although not as strong a lesson as some folks in Idaho and Texas got taught.
And I have learned about Obama and McCain, from others, and from their own mouths. And as I see it, no matter which one wins (along with their party), we are going to get shafted. The only question that remains is which one will do it hardest and fastest. The track record of both parties proves that both sides will gladly sacrifice our rights, our money, and even our blood for their social agendas.
When it comes to our gun rights, it is simply a question of which side will work harder to take them away from us. Look at the leading proponents of gun control in all forms, and the majority of the politicians who advocate gun restrictions are Democrats. Many Republicans do go along with them, some even do their bit to introduce anti-gun regulations (it seems to be the popular thing to do in some crowds), but the driving forces currently are nearly all Democrats. Therefore, I think it is reasonable to believe that Democrats would do us worse, and do it faster than Republicans.
Neither side are our friends, both will stab us in the back, given the chance. The only difference I can see is that while the Republicans will let it happen, the Democrats are constantly sharpening their knives.
And the whole "if you vote for XXX your vote is wasted" or "by not voting for YYY you are helping elect ZZZ" is pure emotional tripe. Kind of like being in favor of "reasonable" gun control. In other words, it is a lie.
