80 million reasons to vote

Everyone knows the election is going to be tight this year, so I appreciate that Telum Associates announced that 80 million swing votes are up for grabs.

"There are 80 million law-abiding gun owners in the United States, tens of millions more gun owners than there will be voters for the successful presidential candidate. Gun owners can defeat either Clinton or Obama or both of them in November,” reads the recent news release. “Gun owners can save the country from them and from the hypocrisy they represent. Gun owners can save the country from the government interference in the personal right of self-defense which both candidates advocate."

I know those are some strong words, but I’m sure the team over at Telum Associates isn’t going to do anything unreasonable - like say add a graphic to their news release to simulate having a gun pointed at your face.

Normally, I’d be a tiny bit worried that my commentary may make me the recipient of some very pointed pro-Second Amendment hate mail. But the average daily readership here at Crossed The Wire is 7, so I don’t think there will be much of an upset.

And thank God because they have me outnumbered 80 million to one. And they have guns.
