I know some of the Romneylans will say a pro-gun vote is a vote for Obama but I hope most members of this forum are smart enough not to fall for their Orwellian "War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength." nonsense.

It's not a question of being smart enough ... its a question of being a student of history. Bill Clinton was elected for one reason and for one reason only ... Ross Perot. When the conservative vote is split, the most liberal candidate is the defacto champion. Everytime!

And the biggest losers will be us. After Obama appoints two or three more justices, you can kiss your recent RKBA advances bye-bye.

... if you truly believe that Romney = Obama as far as 2A goes ... and if you can think of no other policy, plank or reason that may separate the two

i urge you ... i beg you ... to consider these three words:

Supreme Court Justices

Because whatever laws the newly elected president will shape and/or sign, whatever executive orders they might pen, whatever backroom deals they may cook up; none of it ... NONE OF IT ... will have the long reaching impact as the Justices that they will appoint. None of it will carry the irreversible weight for decades to come that the makeup of the Supreme Court will carry.

That is the bottom line ... and that is the reason that a vote for Ron Paul equals a vote against our 2A rights.

Chas.

Well said! Anyone who thinks otherwise is using the same logic that liberals are when they want to ban all guns ... we don't live in Utopia and never will on this side of heaven. If we don't wake up, all of us, and start living in the real world then you might as well cast the ballot for the big O.
