Predictions:
1: Obama will win. McCain and his handlers have run an absolutely numbnutted fustercluck of a campeign, and Obama's appeal to the Pay My Way Club is too broad-based for him to lose at this point.
2: Within the first year, I and my family will be unemployed. We own/run a successful small business, and we -cannot- sustain that business with 2x-3x MORE of our paychecks and company money running out the door. Additionally, we're gun dealers, which brings me to...
3: Victim Disarmament. LOTS of it. HR1022 will come out of committee and be passed by the Democratic majority and signed (if needed) by President Obama. This will make nearly every semiautomatic firearm in the country illegal (if you own a C-96 Mauser or Bergmann, consider yourself lucky), along with 90% of my inventory. That's not counting, of course, the -total- ban on sidearms that Sen. Obama has supported in the past, or the fact that his idea of "reasonable restriction" was the Washington DC ban which the Supremes recently struck down, or his support for banning virtually every centerfire rifle round in existence.
4: Inflation & Depression: Where's the money gonna come from? All these "changes" the good Senator is talking about are damned expensive, people, and since 40% of the country already pays no taxes and Obama's promising a tax-cut for 95% of the population...where's that money gonna come from? "The other five percent! Right. Sure. Maybe if you take everything they own, that's if you can stop them from moving to St. Kitts and taking their toys with them. Just like the bailout, it's going to have to come down to printing money. Or, I suppose he could always borrow it from the Chinese, if they'll still loan us so much as a cup of sugar.
