Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Realize this is the classifieds, so bear with me. The Obama website has laid out the plans for their war on gun owners.

Ill keep this brief. The Republican party is lost. They used to AT LEAST speak of financial responsibility, smaller government, individual rights, etc. After six years of power, they COMPLETELY abandoned those ideals- Six years of ridiculous spending, bloated government, and Rights stomping. The Republican party would not have kept McCain "straight" because the Republican party is crooked. There is no longer a Republican "tune"-their tune is hardly distinguishable from the Democrats. The tune of fiscal responsibility, small government , and individual rights is no longer being sung by the GOP. Their tune is now big government, big spending-but "different" than the big government the democrats want.
I wouldnt say I was "content" with Obama getting elected, but I would say it is better for conservative ideals-because now there is a chance that conservatism will pop its head out again. Instead of burying their head in the sand, as they did when the GOP was running the show, Conservatives will once again speak against big government.
If McCain was president, the conservatives would continue to remain mute as McCain advanced a big government agenda.
If the concern was having Republicans in charge, than vote for Rrepublicns. If the concern is "conservatism", then the best thing is to let the GOP crash, and start over again.
Take a page from the Democrat playbook-when they crashed, they didnt fold, and take a non existing middle road. They put Pelosi, Howard Dean, Obama-the most ardent big government radicals in place, and now the radicals are running the show.
Republicans should do the same, just on the other side of the spectrum. Now that the radicals are running the show, the GOP can finally get on with building a party of smaller government, fiscal responsibility, etc.

It's funny. I have been a member of the NRA for 20 years and a hunter for 35. I am not a gun collector at all. I use my guns as tools to support my hobbies. Deer hunting, duck hunting, bird hunting, etc. Of course I would use a gun to defend my family or property like most of us would. I have never had a desire to own an assault weapon, never saw the need. Well guys, I see the need now. I just bought a Mini 14 and 2 40 round magazines. I encourage anyone else reading this to entertain the idea that in a few months that may never be possible again.

Something else to think about. Being from Delaware I know a little too much about Joe Biden. He's been trying to regulate our firearms for years. He will put as much "horsepower" behind Barry as possible.

Please don't call a Mini 14 an "assault weapon"; thats just what they want!!!!! I've bought two AR-15's in the last (18) months in anticipation of this and really enjoy shooting them. As to Joe Biden, I couldn't agree more.

So basically you did not vote, therefore you don't deserve to have an opinion or bitch, period......

Good point Chris. Sorry for the mis-classification.

Wrong on all counts. I voted and deserve to have an opinion (whatever that means).

The list of betrayals by the NRA is a long one. It's the same people in the NRA that have sold the American people down the tube for a vary long time. Remember the NRA support of the instant back ground check? Remember the NRA support of the gun registration through FFL dealers.

I know of only one organization that has stood for American gun owners and that is the National Shooting Sports Foundation.

Some think this crazy, I fully agree.

Cleg, if you did vote, I assume for an independent or other, I apologize. I just assumed you didn't vote by your post.

The NRA is still our best chance, and the primary reason we still have the freedoms we do. We need more members because there is strength in numbers. We need political clout more than ever now, and we need organization. No other organization swings as big a stick as the NRA.

All I have to say on this subject is , the guy who thinks he is gonna take my guns from me better be able to catch solid copper between his teeth . End of story.

Agree! If there was ever a time for them it's NOW and the next 2 years. I really think these bastards will self destruct with their leftist agenda and the elections in 2 years will neuter them but it's two long years of anything goes. And they are rolling in the isle laughing their ass off with anticipation. A blank check written by the biggest bunch of fools in history!

So basically you did not vote, therefore you don't deserve to have an opinion or bitch, period......

ABSOLUTELY 100% CORRECT. If you are not part of the solution,you are part of the problem.I don't ever recall any gun owner jumping up and down over John McCain,he quite simpl was the lesser of two evils.As far as the obama bin biden anti-gun machine,WE ALL NEED TO MAKE SURE OUR NRA MEMBERSHIPS ARE ACTIVE.It is time we speak with our money instead of our mouths,Lip service has gotten us to where we are...SCREWED!!!
