Not really feeling it today. Scrambling to finish the semester, get several machines up and running, and clear a backlog of reading and news watching. (I haven’t hit the GUNS magazine from two months ago yet.)
But, before I go rambling off, two points.
One- per OpenSecrets, I have more cash on hand than the Brady Campaign does. Right now, if the Brady Bunch was in an aircraft, there would be a voice insisting that they PULL UP. (Either that, or the Airbus click-click-click-click ALTITUDE, ALTITUDE would kick in.)
Two- per a commenter on this article, “[w]hen you [gun owners] get as big as our armed forces then you can rattle your sabers.” Just one tiny little problem… there are between 65 and 80 plus million gun owners in the United States. Including all reserves and paramilitary forces (CAP, JROTC, Coast Guard, etc.), the United States only has 3,385,400 people in the military. For reference, at 65 million gun owners, that’s 19.2 gun owners per military man. At 80 million, that goes to 23.6 to 1.
So, can we rattle our sabers now?

Dixie,
And to further complicate the numbers, don’t forget about Oath Keepers.
Many people who are currently serving are gun owners and have more in common with the conservative philosophy then the far left.

Yep. Of the dozens of military people I know, exactly two are Democrats.

I stole your stats, added some of my own and responded to that moron. Amazing that these “peace Loving” freaks are so willing to send soldiers after citizens…

Hey man, if we send the .gov after those Teabaggers, man, that’ll keep the peace!
