With all the recent talk of Obama running for office, I've heard many here, and a few other 2A communities champion Mccain, the logic being because hes teh lesser of the two evils in regards to our guns. I never agreed witht his line of logic, as it shows two things in my mind: A. weakness. Where are our canidates? Where is our strength? If we have no one we can run, then we have less power and few fence sitters will join a dying cause. B. it shows we can be bought. Just appear to support us more than the other guy. Neither of those is appealing to me.
So what about option 3? Third party perhaps? No, I have no misplaced belief that the next president will be a 3rd party canidate. But we CAN still come out on top. If we showed our support for a third party canidate we would show that not only can we not be bought, but we can be a very powerful ally. There are upwards of 90,000,000 gun owners in america. That is a powerful voting base.
Of course what do I know? I'm a Lcpl in the Corps, not a polisci expert.
