Whoever you support, it must be agreed that Sen. Obama GRABBED the "third rail."

[Tyler Durden]

I have RAILED against the inclusion of the "Gun Issue" in Democratic Party Politics for decades now.

It's a meaningless "rally point" that the conservatives and the Republicans take 9 times out of 10, and we almost always lose: It's a third rail carrying 800 volts at 200 amps, guaranteed to kill you dead.

Ownership
* Private Firearm Ownership in the U.S. as of 1993/1994:

Households With a Gun 49%
Total number 47,600,000

Adults Owning a Gun 31%
Total number 59,100,000

And if you think that's gone DOWN since then, you're delusional.

This was a mistake not only for Sen. Obama, but for the entire Democratic Party. The Gun Issue has not been mentioned once in this campaign, and now, it looks like the "latte liberals" want to "...take away our guns!" Again.

So now, instead of Health Care, instead of the War, instead of the Economy, We have to deal with fallout from the GOD DAMNED GUN ISSUE. AGAIN.

Discount me as a Sen. Clinton Supporter if you want, but if you are honest, you will admit that the inclusion of the Gun Issue in this campaign has had the effect of placing three hyperactive ferrets with diarhea in you living room: you are NEVER going to get that shit out of there, and it will keep showing up for MONTHS.

You can have as much faith as you want (I have none, so that lets me out), but you must agree that the only solution for ANY Democratic Candidate to have some degree of success is for Sen. Obama to bite the "bullet" (so to speak) and do an immediate mia culpa, or everyone with a "D" after their name on the ballot will have some "...'splainin' to do..." in November.
