Seriously, dude, I'm trying to have a conversation with you. Why is it a one or the other situation: Obama donation versus guns (or anything else)? If it's wrong to spend money on shooting-related items during election season, what else is it wrong to buy? Or conversely, what is it OK to buy?

Do you actually condemn people for any/all expenditures that are non-Obama and non-essential-for-life? Bottom line, my first answer to you was "both" - why is that in error in your opinion?
