The second amendment was neither a liberal or conservative 'staple'. It was written specifically to allay the fears of the anti-federalists over the alarming power the constitution gave congress over arming the militia, thereby guaranteeing that congress could not disarm the militia.

And any gunowner who thinks Hillary and her ilk wouldn't just LOVE to turn the USA PATRIOT Act and other such monstrosities loose on gunowners is deluding themselves. The Neo-Cons not only sold out gunowners themselves, they handed the gungrabbers a whole plate full of extra-Constitutional and -Judicial powers with which to harass the gunowning community.
The Neo-Cons are traitors on the gun issue, as on so many others.

There's eighty-friggin-million of us, for Christ's sake, and we couldn't get this man the GOP nomination. The -only- progun candidate in the field, the only such candidate in God-alone-knows HOW many years...and we fucking blew it.

Dune, the nominations were already stacked against us simply because of clinton and obama. With the 'angry white man' demographic, all it took was the spectre of a black man or a clinton woman in the whitehouse to unabashedly support mccain, leaving true conservatives pissing in the wind.
It also doesn't help that we have our own internal problems between the 80 million of us, such as little elmer fudds who will believe the bullshiat lies about nobody wanting to take away their huntin' gun and that nobody NEEDS an 'assault weapon'.
We are our own worst enemy because we can't come together.
