As someone who no longer has one of his shotguns as a result of the Clinton era executive orders, I assert that you are giving them too much credit even on that point. They will attempt to ban all semi-automatics, and that includes a lot shotguns that were designed over 100 years ago (browning A-5, Remington model 12, etc. The most common "non-elite" hunting firearms, such as Remington 11/87s and Saiga-12s, will be among the first to be outlawed.
McCain is a poor candidate when it comes to firearms rights, but Obama is simply unacceptable. He is a tyrant, and his election will spell doom for freedom.
Those Saiga's are about as non-elite as it gets. Paid $200 for mine...they're ergonomically clumsy, ugly as sin, and more than once I wondered why I bought it. Shoulda bought five.
See tag line. Freedom WILL Survive, although many of its defenders may not.
