Just to make it clear, I fully recognize that ANY of the canidates we elect will not make any major difference to myself or my pocket book.&nbsp; All politicians love to take credit for things they had no control over.&nbsp; Everyone likes to say how much everything was better during the Clinton Administration (like Clinton was responsible for the explosion of the Technology Dot Com boom&#8230;well wasn&#39;t his VP Al Gore the inventor of the Internet though? -LOL) even though it was all the intellectual know how of the United States that made everyone look like a paper millionaire with Tech Stock portfolios that you couldn&#39;t pick a wrong stock.&nbsp; But then Bush came and as soon as he walked in destroyed the economy day one.&nbsp; If anyone believes that the end of the Dot Com boom was Bushes fault, you really give the government more credit than they deserve.&nbsp; I was involved HEAVILY in Y2K project management.&nbsp; You had an open checkbook at companies to buy ANYTHING as long as you stamped the words &quot;NOT Y2K COMPLIANT&quot; on it.&nbsp; In the tech industry, we were like kids in a Candy Store.&nbsp; Imagine having a blank check book with an unlimited balance and walking onto a car lot.&nbsp; You think you would honestly by that Kia or get the Ferrari?&nbsp; I bailed out of the entire stock market since I knew the sunset was over.&nbsp; Nobody was going to be able to keep spending like they did before.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;So getting back to the election.&nbsp; If you vote Hillary, you really shouldn&#39;t be on my website.&nbsp; She has repeated over and over again how she will reinstate the so called &quot;Assault Weapons Ban&quot;.&nbsp; Not like she has ever looked at a single FBI report to show how often one of these so called &quot;Assault Weapons&quot; have been used in a crime.&nbsp; The truly messed up thing is as a citizen, you are more likely to win the lottery than you are of EVER being killed by a so called Assault Weapon (suicides excluded or forgetting to unload your gun before cleaning it).&nbsp;&nbsp;I am talking specifically of a violent crime situation where someone is going to pull out an &quot;Assault Weapon&quot; and shoot you with it.&nbsp; Just because liberals watching too many&nbsp;Hollywood Movies, does not make this an issue.&nbsp; It is true, you will always have crazy people in world.&nbsp; There is nothing you can ever do about that.&nbsp; I am deeply saddened for the families effected by events of the Virginia Tech issue but then on the same standpoint, if&nbsp;you had students that were able to carry a CHL (Concealed&nbsp;Handgun License) and their gun on campus, I am sure someone would have shot the&nbsp;crazy kid before that.<\/p>\n<p>Obama is just as out of touch as Hillary.&nbsp; At first I thought we would have finally&nbsp;ran across the first smart Democrat who would realize you lose a LOT MORE votes&nbsp;voting against the second ammendment than you gain from sheltered soccer moms who get all their &quot;real world&quot; news from Rosie O&#39;Donnell, Oprah and Ellen.&nbsp; Instead he tries to come up with his own marketing terms to make gun owners hill billy gun nuts living in bunkers saying that &quot;Common Sense Gun Laws&quot; which is just a fancier way of saying restrictive gun ownership, registration, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>I would like you all to know one very common bit of information that everyone knows in Law Enforcement.&nbsp; A national registration database of firearms does not help in solving crimes.&nbsp; You know why?&nbsp; Criminals DO NOT BUY GUNS LEGALLY OR WOULD REGISTER THEM!&nbsp; This is just a way of the government keeping track of who owns guns so that when they enact new laws, they know who to get them from.&nbsp; If you don&#39;t believe this, let me tell you a more likely way that the Democrats would like to do this.<\/p>\n<p>Every law abiding citizens registers their gun based on some new Federal Law passed by Clinton or Obama.&nbsp; They sit around in their little offices, protected by tax payer paid for full armed security people.&nbsp; Six months later, they come up with some statistics that says gun shot related deaths are causing a severe strain on the new National Medical system they came up with and need to institute a $100 a gun tax.&nbsp; Sounds reasonable to the general non-gun owning public, right?<\/p>\n<p>Well for someone who is a life long collector and may have 30 or 40 guns over the course of 50 years (various long arms, shotguns, old collectible revolver\/pistols, etc) you are making it impossible for him to pay these additional taxes.&nbsp; Of course to the Clinton\/Obama&#39;s of the world, that person is just some gun nut and doesn&#39;t need to have all those guns to begin with.<\/p>\n<p>The underling question:&nbsp; How does this at the end of the day reduce Violent Crime by stripping some retired veteran who enjoys collecting firearms?&nbsp; It doesn&#39;t.&nbsp; This is all about the Democrats wanting to try to turn us into England.&nbsp; Well guess what Clinton\/Obama, we declared our independence from England hundreds of years ago for the reasons we wrote in our Bill of Rights.&nbsp; So get your grubby little hands out of my pocket book and off of my guns.&nbsp; If you want to live like that, I am sure that Clinton\/Obama could each get a citizenship for the UK if that makes them feel better.<\/p>\n<p>So at the end of the day, my vote is for McCain.&nbsp; I feel VERY strongly that McCain will not erode the 2nd Ammendment the same way Hillary and Obama are bent on doing.&nbsp; Do I feel that McCain will help my pocket book better than Obama\/Clinton?&nbsp; I don&#39;t believe anyone besides myself will help me be for prosperous.&nbsp; It is much more productive doing something to improve life for yourself rather than worrying about how the government should.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;-Jessie Indracusin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read my comments on the 2008 Presidential Election<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":150,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-15","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.civiliantacticalweapons.com\/wpctw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
