Obama once said at a fundraiser in San Fransisco...

"And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. So it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

He is talking about how the Clinton and Bush administration has done nothing for small towns in Pennsylvanian and the Midwest. And that their unemployment rates are on the rise. He then makes the comment that when people are bitter, they cling to their guns and the religion. I think he is right. When people don't like the way the government is being run, they turn to guns and to religion.

Here are some interesting headlines:
"Gun Sales on the Rise"
"Gun Sales, Permit Applications Jump In Florida"
"Gun Sales Up With New Administration In Office"
"Election of new President triggers interest in guns"
"'Obama Effect' Hitting Local Gun Stores"

I guess Kyle was right.. (yes I am mentioning you again) I must be bitter. Because I have purchased guns in the last week. I will BLOG about them in future posts.
