My opinion: in the old days before the "black rifles and pistols" gunshows were largely unmolested by the govt. Anyone could see the sporting function and beauty of a Savage 99, a Winchester 94 or Mod. 70. There was no need for "Streetsweepers" of any other of the Military-oriented hardware. In one sense we have brought this headache on ourselves. The gun shows are now full of this military style s--t. I did not vote for Obama but held my nose as I pulled the lever for McCain (bomb-bomb-bomb-bomb bomb Iran). A loose cannon if ever there was one. Anyhow, I don't think Obama will be threatening the 2nd Amendment. There are enough problems he will inherit from Bush --- the worst Pres. of my 72 year lifetime. And I have been a Goldwater republican ever since Barry wrote Conscience of a Conservative. Chopperlump
