When Told Not to Worry, It's Time to Start Being Concerned
A quote from a recent op-ed in the New York Times:
"NRA leaders have misled many gullible people into believing that our weapons are going to be taken away from us, and that homeowners will be deprived of the right to protect ourselves and our families. The NRA would be justified in its efforts if there was a real threat to our constitutional right to bear arms. But that is not the case."
- Jimmy Carter, the worst of our 44 United States Presidents.
I really didn't think the power-mad Democrats would make a play for gun control during this congressional term - until I started reading quotes like this one from Carter. Now it seems like a mathematical certainty. Of course, this would be against the will of the American public, which, according to a recent Zogby poll, is overwhelmingly (to the tune of 74%) against new laws to limit civil liberties pertaining to firearms.

Great post and insight! Although if Carter ever says not to worry that in itself is reason to REALLY worry!
