You read that issue of
American Riflemen too, huh?
Just like
Brady II when it threatened all that was good and holy in the gun world? Meh, I'll believe it when it happens and when it happens it'll be too damn late anyway. Needless to say, politicians make their careers on telling a particular group what they wanna hear and then rotating their face around like suit-clad Janus to tell the opposite group everything is fine. Just because he's sporting a "radical new skin pigmentation" doesn't mean he's not the same old goblin underneath. I'm excited about the prospect of an educated man in the White House, but this isn't going to be
Air Force One or an episode of some fancy TeeVee political action drama.
All that bullshit above really means this:
I'd venture to say gun control will be pushed way under the rug until the next cranky emo kid unloads on his school with a piece of shit gun nobody on the board would touch. Hi-Point and Intratec had their round of bad publicity. Who's next? Phoenix Arms and Rossi?
Gun control doesn't do a damn thing besides placate upper class white bread morons and I'd be willing to wager that Mr. Prez is smart enough with his top shelf education to realize that he needs to placate the XX million people in the states that own guns if he wants that second term.
...
Whew, I'm starting to feel Canadian here. Somebody hit me with a can of Budweiser, dump a sack of beef jerky on my head and give me a papercut with a
Playboy.

Are you whining? Get an agent.
You already get beards and cool black stripes over your eyes, what else do you want?
