"There is also concern about whether Mitt Romney would be supportive of the Second Amendment as well.” As well there should be.

"Firearms Sales Ring in 2012 With a Bang."

Keane agrees that the same concerns, including economic uncertainty, drive firearms sales. The gun industry is one that could not only be considered “recession proof” but actually thrives in economic downturns. Politics, however, certainly plays a role, and while the election of Obama may have resulted in a post-election firearms sales boom in 2008 and 2009, the 2012 campaign season could kick sales into high gear again.

“There is concern about the Second Amendment, of course,” says Keane. “There is a concern as to what President Obama might do in a second term, but there is also concern about whether Mitt Romney would be supportive of the Second Amendment as well.”

As well there should be. The guy's wobblier on the subject of firearm rights than Dubya and George Herbert Walker put together. Plus, if Romney gets the nomination and is somehow elected over the objections of conservatives/libertarians -- even to the extent of a probable third party -- just what will he think that he owes gun rights advocates? Exactly dick.

Is it the GOP's fault that he has a better campaign organization than his more conservative opponents?

Obama has done too much damage to even consider what he might do in a second term. And Obama and his puppet masters hate gunowners to the core. Obama will be a lame duck, meaning gun rights will be a target, and Hillary will be in line in 2016 to "save us" from his asinine administration.

We can deal with Romney, and if he gets froggy any stupid crap should be blocked by Congress. The same could be said for Obama, but he's perfectly willing to use violence to get his way...; January 4, 2012 at 6:30 PM

I am a registered Democrat and I am ashamed of where my party has gone, Into the dark-side yet I hope and pray that some sense of "Love of Country" might someday come back to the DEMS, I will still vote AGAINST OBAMA and urge others to do the same.; January 5, 2012 at 12:00 AM
Dakota said...: Voting 3rd Party, not at all, hold my nose and vote for Herr Mitt Meister. Really gang .... do you really think that an election can stop the gathering storm before us? The saying, "can't see the forest for the trees" comes to mind.

Do you really believe that the Republican Party will stand in the "gap" and turn this country around? When have they shown "any" backbone at all for countering the slide to socialism.... when? Do you hear ANYONE of them in the House or Senate raising hell about what is going on ......? Hmmmm

Grow up gentlemen .... we have no Constitution left, the rule of law does not apply to our "betters" that are supposed to be doing our business within the guidelines of the Constitution they swore to "protect and defend"....... grow up!!

This election means nothing .... absolutely nothing ... we will continue our slide no matter the outcome .... we need to plan on "plan B ". .... or C.; January 6, 2012 at 5:03 AM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
