I have said this over and over, but I will say it again because there are millions of gun owners who just don't get it: The most important thing is that gun owners NOT vote for politicians that are antigun bigots like Clinton, Gore and Kerry. Vote for whoever is running against them that has the best chance of winning.
There are 80 million or so gun owners in the United States, yet in the 2004 election, Kerry was defeated by only a little over 3 million votes. That tells me one thing: There are tens of millions of gunowners who are voting for the scumbags who want to destroy the Second Amendment and our right to arms.
This has got to stop, period!
If we had a couple of Presidential elections where the vote tally was 80 million plus for the progun candidate and 20 or so million for the antigun bigot candidate, with a 100% election rate for progun candidates in the House and Senate, you can bet your @$$ that the antigun bigots would get the message. Attacking our right to arms would very quickly be seen as political suicide, which it should be.
Yes, there are alot of issues to address regarding government and politicians overstepping their Constitutional restraints and screwing with our personal lives and choices. Guess what - there always will be. We can hammer out the rest as we go along, but our first priority must be to defend the Second Amendment and our right to arms!
Why? because, like it or not, our right to arms is the one right that preserves and protects all others (just like the Wayne LaPierre always says).
Bottom line? Gun owners must stop voting for antigun bigots if we are to preserve our right to arms.
