Whats the Kid to do MAN! Tis the question? 
But like so many others say "worry 'bout it then" is hard to do Brothers and Sisters.............looks to be another restless night. 
Too right.
I don't mean to sound flippant, (do people still use that word ? it's the only one I could think of.) But I'm going to write in Ron Paul and stock up on ammo.
People will tell you that third parties never win, that's not true , BUT, the last one who did was Lincoln. The main reason for this is the media, they only cover the 2 major parties and pooh - pooh every one else. Do you remember Ross Perot ? He was the reform candidate in , I think, '84. He had a whole series of 1 hour shows using charts and graphs and plain English to explain his policies. He BOUGHT that time, none of the networks would give him time equal to what the major parties were getting JUST in "news reports", so he used his own money and bought the time in the slots he wanted. Paid through the nose for it too. He was sunk by 3 things, one, he's a little guy with BIG ears and a fast talker who seems born to be the butt of jokes, 2) not enough people UNDERSTOOD what he was telling them because the "average" voter is dumber than a stump,(other wise people would not be impressed with Obama, he doesn't actually SAY anything, but he says it well) the 3rd thing was his unfortunate choice of Adm. Stockwell as his VP, The Adm. was a brave and honorable man past his prime, over his head, and came across as "befuddled",at best. The point is, that even with all those things going against him he still managed to scare the CRAP out of the major parties. Ron Paul, is awesome on the gun issue, every gun owner in the country can get behind him on that, He's solid on the illegal immigration situation, he's against one world NAFTA type globalization of America, He realizes that what made America great was that her people are INDEPENDENT, He has solid, well planned ideas for Social security, health care, and the economy. (these are not subjects I understand so I did not examine his positions in depth) and he is anti abortion. Given all these factors pretty much every one from moderately to extremely Conservative can vote for him without having to hold their nose. But, he also has wide support on college campuses among young voters. With a base like that, and the growing wave of dissatisfaction with McCain, a well directed aggressive INTERNET campaign could MAYBE turn the election into a real horse race, especially when you consider that Nader can only hurt Dem's, probably Obama more than Clinton.
Something else to consider, gun owners may be better off with Clinton or Obama. Any move that either of them make will draw resistance from republicans along party lines in the legislative branches, anti gun initiatives will draw fire from religious and civic leaders as well as us gun owners. But if McCain is supporting the same legislation the Dem's will support it en mass as will many republican politicians who only think with their party affiliation, religious and civic leaders also would be more hesitant to go against 2/3 of the legislature, which by the way is nearly enough to CHANGE the Constitution, (4/5). In other words, a Clinton or Obama presidency, at Worst can hurt the 2d Amendment. A McCain presidency could kill it.
Now, Why more ammo ? Because these are perilous times the economy is already shaky because of the mortgage mess, by next winter gas will be over $4 a gallon, heating oil will rise at a similar rate, EVERYTHING uses petroleum in processing in one way or another, add to that the costs of transporting from source to market, and you can expect painful price increases in the cost of everything from food to toilet paper. People will be losing jobs because they cannot afford to commute, businesses will fail because they can't raise prices enough to absorb increased costs, people will be freezing and starving because they can't afford fuel for heat and cooking. if not this coming winter then the one after. When people have nothing to lose they rebel, it gives them some thing to do till they starve, and all that running around burning govt. buildings keeps them warm. Then we will need our guns to survive.
But besides that, I only own my computer, my clothes, and a couple of guns. TO HELL WITH THEIR LAWS I WILL DIE, BUT I WILL NOT GIVE THEM UP. and I will not die alone.
And you can call me Tom, it saves all that extra typing
