My, it has been an interesting last few days.\u00a0 As we come down to the wire of the election, things aren\u2019t looking good from the gun owners\u2019 perspective.<\/p>\n
The \u201cL\u201d party might have foreseen that this year would have been the best ever to really put a third party on the radar screen.\u00a0 Instead, they dragged their feet and didn\u2019t offer candidates to the public until late in the game.\u00a0 Their Presidential candidate seems to think Aleppo is a brand of dog food, their Veep choice was a vehement anti-gunner when he occupied a Governor\u2019s Mansion, and they really aren\u2019t in position to do anything but suck votes away from the one person who can beat the candidate who has declared us to be an \u201cenemy.\u201d<\/p>\n
The \u201cR\u201d party had four years to mentor a viable candidate, didn\u2019t, and got what it got. Whether Donald Trump has been hoisted by his own petard in the last few days, or sandbagged by hostile media and political machines, or both, his candidacy has been badly hurt.<\/p>\n
My own biggest concern is the House and Senate.\u00a0 The next President will doubtless appoint multiple Supreme Court justices in a time when even the one due appointee will tip the balance of our highest Court.\u00a0 That nominee will have to be confirmed by the Senate.\u00a0 Now, I\u2019m an Independent, not a Republican, but I\u2019m one of the many other people Ronald Reagan was speaking for when he said \u201cI didn\u2019t abandon the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party abandoned me.\u201d You have only to look at the Democrats\u2019 own published platform to see how hostile the Ds are to law-abiding American gun owners.<\/p>\n
I implore you, don\u2019t give up and boycott the election. Vote for pro-gun candidates in the House and Senate.\u00a0 Vote for pro-gun candidates within your own state legislatures, where the Bloomberg anti-gun forces will be pushing heavily for state-by-state restrictions in the coming years.<\/p>\n
It matters.<\/p>\n
