Guns and elections
I don't like the way the primaries have played out much, but I'm going to bite the bullet and vote in November
First a little history and some simple math.
Presidential election of 2012:
65,915,796 Winner Obama (D)
60,993,500 Loser Romney (R)
5 million popular vote margin
Shifting only 2.5 million voters from Winner to Loser changes the popular vote the other way.
Of the 66 million Obama voters about 20 million were in gun owning households.
If just half of those 20 million were to have voted against Obama [FOR GUNS] proportionately across the US only the following states would have maintained a majority for (D) and the Electoral College would have flipped.
MD 10, CA 55, DC 3, DE 3, NJ 14, CT 7, RI 4, MA 11, VT 3, NY 29
for a total of 139 Electoral votes. That is well short of the 270 needed to elect.
Do you see my point so far.
OK. Some of you didn’t.
GUNOWNERS CAN CONTROL THE ELECTION!
So that wraps up the past.
Now look at the future. I’m going to make some assumptions so you can judge the validity of my conclusions on that basis.
I. The next POTUS will be either Trump or Clinton.
2. One Supreme Court seat will be vacant.
3. The Republicans will maintain control of the Senate and House.
4. If elected, Clinton will “attack gun owners on her very first day.”

See video at 00:40, 02:07, and 04:10.
5. You won’t like Clinton’s “first day” if she gets in.
6. You won’t like Clinton’s Supreme Court nomination.
Now, I’m going to reveal my political stand here. I don’t particularly like either Trump or Clinton. There was no candidate I agreed with 100%. I would have preferred a Frankenstein where I could pick monetary policy of one and military policy from another, fiscal another, and so on. But I seldom get what I want, and this election is not going to change that.
Now I am begging.
Do as I am going to do. VOTE NOT-CLINTON. I don’t care if you have your signed #neverTrump card in your wallet. I don’t care if all 9 of your family’s generations voted Democrat. The NOT-CLINTONs need your vote. If you are a gun-owning Democrat, please vote NOT-CLINTON.
Gun owners CANNOT afford to let her in.
Imagine your gun cabinet in 8 years after registration, insurance requirements, ammo taxes, attacks on retailers, banning mail-order, home inspections, confiscation,” environmental” regulation, health info reviews. If you have been reading long enough, you know those are not just some nightmares of mine. No, my friends, those are plans already in the anti-gun party’s playbook.
GUNOWNERS CAN CONTROL THE ELECTION!
Tell others. Do not “sit out” the election with a pout on your face. CONTROL your fate as a GUNOWNER.
VOTE NOT CLINTON which means VOTE REPUBLICAN
I hope those of you who disagree with me will tell me where I am wrong.
If you agree with me tell me how I can improve my presentation.
Make your own presentation.
Please.
