If I'm in gun industry, from manufacturers to gun shop owners, I would vote for Obama. Seriously. He's the best sale pitch they have. And with a likely Repub congress, in coalition with enough Dem congressmen in deep south, there is not one iota Obama can do on gun control.

(5,436 posts)The Delicate Flowers (gun-nuts) are very scared about the fantasy that the NRA & other reich-wing organizations have promoted.
Without guns, the Delicate Flowers will be too scared to walk out the front door. They'll starve.
the whole delicate flowers thingy, but everyone is a delicate flower when an issue they care about is brought up...n/t

(5,436 posts)Tom Tomorrow is the guy who came up with "Delicate Flowers" to describe gun-nuts, since they are ever-so-sensitive when any limits on their beloved (and necessary
) Precious is brought up.
im just saying that when it comes to issues like abortion, gay marriage, racism, etc... there are alot of people who become "delicate flowers"

(25,005 posts)what's going to happen 4 years from now when all of the people whom have these huge bad-ass arsenals of guns, ammo, etc. and the "jack-booted thugs" of the ATF (or New Black Panthers) STILL haven't shown up at their doorstep to seize every last bit of it? Talk about a huge waste of money. I sure hope that nobody starves or loses their homes in their zeal to buy as many guns as possible.
