Sooner or later you gotta do it...

Regarding the whole brouhaha with Cooper Firearms and Dan Cooper's support of Obama...
I am really tired of the self-appointed "voices of reason" lecturing and saying we shouldn't use terms like "Fudd." It could be argued the term doesn't represent all hunters, and indeed it doesn't. And we live in a different world now than we did 10-15 years ago. We've had a moderately pro-gun president and Congress since the '94 elections, and in the meantime we've had significant gains on the RKBA front — just to name a few things, some form of CCW in 48 states, the sunset of the semi-auto ban and the AR-15 platform becoming the best-selling in the country in the aftermath of that, and the Supreme Court declaring the Second Amendment to be an individual right. And anyone with any working brain cells should have seen the gun issue come roaring back into national politics after Heller was handed down. It's become more prominent now than it ever has been. Now here we are, very well on the cusp of having most if not everything we've gained taken away. Here we are, we could very well have the most anti-gun Presidential ticket in history elected next Tuesday, one allegedly "pro-gun" hunter organization endorsing said ticket, certain "hook-and-bullet" writers *cough*David Petzal*cough* remaining not fully convinced the Obama ticket is bad news for anyone who owns a boomstick, and now this? And said "voices of reason" are claiming the SHOOTERS should be the ones trying to smooth things over? Excuse me, but the hell with that. It's not the shooters that are or have been selling other gun owners out in return for the thirty pieces of "we'll let you keep your deer rifle and duck gun" silver. If there's any hunter out there that doesn't know what the term "Fudd" means that's one thing, but if they get irritated at it after it becomes clear what the term really means in this context (there's a pretty good definition in this post), then I'd argue they're part of the problem and damn well deserve to be called out for exactly what they are — traitors. And yes, Fudds. I'd argue that with the records of Barack Guns For Me But Not For Thee Obama and Joe I Wrote The Original Assault Weapons Ban Biden, and their buddies in Congress like Teddy No More .30-30s Kennedy, Dianne Mr. And Mrs. American Turn 'em All In Feinstein, Chuck Waiting Periods Are Only A Step Schumer and Carolyn That Shoulder Thing That Goes Up McCarthy, the stakes should be quite clear by now. I mean, are they not? Am I missing something? Is it really that hard to figure out that an attack on one gun is an attack on all of them?
