Remember when Obama critics were saying that if

Obama was elected that "he will take our guns". By the way gun sales increased by a huge margin ..
After Obama's first term Republicans were still talking about gun control and the threat that "he will take my guns"
Well my question to them was " Has a U S Government official ever knocked on your door wanting your guns" "Well no" they would say
I read a OP-Ed by the editor in a small Indiana Newspaper from a town that is so
Red that one would literally be taking his life in his hands if he had a Clinton/Kaine bumper sticker driving through their town.

The Op ed was basically stating that "our country cannot be dragged down as it has been for the last nearly 8 years.
Went on to state that we cannot afford another Obama by electing Hillary Clinton.
My thought was..that's exactly what we need. We had a Two + trillion dollar shortfall deficit and our economy was on the brink and had we gotten another Republican in 2008 where the hell would we be?
Where would GM and all of its supplier companies be? How many millions of jobs would we have lost?
So to the newspaper Editor I say, you better pray that Donald Trump loses becasue all those really good manufacturing jobs of medical devices that you cherish so well just might be shipped back to the US from China
Incidentally I obviously got lucky and made it out of town and I dont think I was followed or shot at.....
