Vote for whomever you like, but if you choose not to vote GOP, no need to worry about McCain’s 2d Amendment position - that won’t be the one pushed from the Oval Office.
On another note, to be perfectly frank, I am not entirely convinced that a number of gun-enthusiasts actually want a pro-second amendment administration.
Because if we elected a president that stoutly supported the freedom to bear arms and tried to get that into policy, what then? How can you be revolutionary and rebellious if the powers-that-be in the power suits in Washington actually agree with you?
No, I becoming more and more convinced that what is more important to these folks is not actually stronger gun freedoms, but being able to Rage Against the Machine of people trying to take away gun rights. As such, the wannabe-revolutionaries have a need in seeing someone hostile to the 2d Amendment in the White House because feeling cool and revolutionary is actually a higher priority than having their policy go mainstream.
After all, how cool and revolutionary can you be if everyone agrees with you? That is no fun - and it doesn’t serve the psychic needs of the wannabe-revolutionaries, which we know are quite demanding.
As for me, I want 2d Amendment freedoms to be mainstream and - wait for it - normal - I like open carry, some level of carry on campuses even, and a more fluid gun market, and we certainly aren’t going to get there with a left-liberal Democrat in office. But then ,I have no interest in defining myself as “rebellious” because, well, I grew up.
