Interesting conversation in a gun shop today.

I was in the gun store of our local mega flea market today. In this very same shop before the election I heard the owner and several others knocking Kerry. Today the owner said "I think Bush is going to ruin this country" and talked about him screwing him over on medicaid and SS, and how terrible Bush and the Republicans were.

Possible this guy still wouldn't vote democrat if the dem had a record for gun control, but I am coming on a tremendous number of people who are growing to hate Bush and the GOP.

Of course this used to be a solid Democratic state, because people believed in the fact that there WERE programs and things that benefit the majority that the Gov't could do best.

Someone might take it literally :evilgrin:

which is not the truth. Our local Dem committee said they wouldn't support Kerry or Dean, even though both talked about hunting, etc-and you know why? They didn't believe them because they were Yankees. They'd really swallowed the Kool Aid.

Kerry even had this whole photo-op thing of him hunting and people just claimed it was a photo-op. You never hear about Bush or any other republican politician going hunting. At least not me. :shrug:

Of course they wouldn't hear about that at an NRA meeting, especially when he was running for President against the guy who let them set up "a branch office inside the White House".

Dean's current stance on guns makes perfect sense. It's a local issue that should be left up to the states. You really can't compare Vermont or Tennessee to NYC or Chicago, so one nationwide policy on the issue really isn't logical.

said that all Yankees are gun haters, basically. Personally, I think they were DINOs and had hijacked the local Dem Committee, making it totally ineffectual. I tried to rally other "newcomers" to try and unseat them, but they decided to launch an independent campaign for the Dems in our county, consisting of ads, meetings, and LTTEs. Since the election, I can't get anyone interested in doing anything at all.

Dean, he would have stood an excellent chance with this type voter

These gunowners better wake up soon, because what is coming down the pike real soon, thier guns wont protect them from.

Most are a bunch of Johnnie One-Notes, IMO.

Armed Liberal.

I'm a Liberal and I own a gun.

The Liberals are armed, too.

I'm a Liberal and I bought a gun in November.

I haven't done it yet, but I really have been thinking about it. Seriously, and I'm a 58 year old married woman (and I'm not mad at my husband)and I really think that a gun might be a good idea in case the crazy ones come for us.

The main reason I don't own a gun yet is that I have a kid in the house.

... is a nick I've used on several boards. Really pisses off the stupider pukes. :)
