The whining and hand wringing about the election needs to stop. The election happened. It's a done deal. No one is doing anyone else any good by wasting bandwidth here.
If you just want to whine and run around screaming "the sky is falling, the sky is falling" then take it somewhere else. We're not doing that here anymore. One week to whine is enough. It's time to get past the disbelief and refusal to accept stage of grief. By now you need to be past the anger stage, into the acceptance stage and start thinking positively about how we are going to hold on to our rights.
If you have some constructive ideas about how to fight any prospective antigun legislation then start a thread in Activism.
Threads are going to start vanishing. We have a no politics rule and the staff isn't going to spend the next 4 or 8 years policing threads that do nothing more then cry and moan about how we have an antigun president. You are preaching to the choir. If everyone who has started a thread or posted in a thread whining and moaning about what happened had devoted the same energy to getting out there and working to elect progun candidates, then we might not be where we are today. That is the challenge we face. We are better then what some of the threads and posts that are being made show us to be.
Now get out there and turn the anger, rage and fear into positive actions. Take someone shooting, write letters to the editor, get involved in local politics.....No more wasting energy and bandwidth here with complaining and whining.
