Apology and an explanation

[AZRedhawk44]

In my view, Gewehr is both right and wrong.

Right, because I don't think Obama is going to bring the End of Days any more than the other guy would have.

Wrong, because I do think that the Western World is in a very bad state in moral terms. I find the welfare state immoral and oppressive. It's just more subtly oppressive than the outright totalitarian states of the 1930's, but it's getting there, slowly but surely.

I do not think the situation can be fixed in 2010 or 2012 - but you can bring in Republicans to slow, or even slightly reverse the trend. The more important change does not occur during elections but between elections. The work of groups like NRA, JPFO, CCRKBA and, yes, GOA contributes to that sort of change.

I agree... but I also question the good of guns when your tax rate is pushing 60% when all is said and done, your leaders are talking about tax hikes again, and no one has the stomach to do anything about it.

That is true, but I was bringing these groups up as an example, because I knew that support for the RKBA is shared among all members of this forum. The Heritage Foundation, Bureaucrash, the Campaign For Liberty, Cato Institute, and some other groups exist that you could join or donate to, and you should choose the one that suits you best.
