Django Unchained is a cautionary tale for "gun enthusiasts" [View all]

Last edited Sat Jan 5, 2013, 08:37 AM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

It 's well known that that guns are a overwhelmingly a white guy rural phenomenon. It's also well known that the electorate is quickly becoming less white and much more urban. The message is that the gun guys need to negotiate some strong gun regualtion now while they have some power or face the wrath in the future of a much less gun friendly electorate that will pass far more draconian gun laws or even bans. In the future the political bogeyman won't be the black man but the white gun owner.
