In recent months I have shyed away from many deals on guns as economic state of the union is frightening with no reason to be optimistic for 2009.

I used to feel empathy for tough luck of others, but now I do not. I suppose that's because there seem to be many out there willing to steal life saving of others. Just look at our politicians handing over tax money by billions to financial institutions w/o accountablility of how it's going to be spent. I suppose lot of it will find its way back into Mr. Senators and Mr. Congressman's pocket and accountability would make that more difficult.
