I agree a lot of the Libertarian candidates seem like a joke. I'm guessing it's because the 3rd parties don't have a real chance to win national elections so you are left with the fringe that are willing to run for office. I believe in the basic principles of Personal Freedom and Personal Responsibility so I will usually vote Libertarian, even if it's just a symbolic gesture. If not, I will still closely look at their records on the 2nd amendment and our rights in general. I don’t need the government to take care of me and I don’t care what adults do in their own home, just as long as they are respecting the rights of others. Don’t hurt me and I won’t hurt you.
As far as the theory about George Bush goes, that sort of talk isn’t going to win any elections. I don’t believe it myself although I will say that just as Obama attempted to take advantage of Sandy Hook to advance his anti-gun agenda, I do believe that Bush took advantage of 9/11 to advance his own agenda in Iraq. I think Bush was still angry that Saddam wanted to assassinate his daddy. I’m only half kidding on that but I can’t believe that he really thought Iraq was our biggest threat. Not more than North Korea or a few other spots on the globe.
@Dutz: Count my wife in the ranks of the Better Late Than Never Guard. She has never owned a firearm either and the first time she ever shot was the one time I took my 380 to the range almost 20 years ago. We applied for our FOIDs and joined the NRA together. She's onboard with me and agrees that it's our obligation as Americans to exercise our 2nd amendment right. The second time my wife ever shot a pistol was during our Red Dot Arms class a couple weeks ago. I'm proud to say she aced it. I know she was waaaay more accurate than I was at the range. It was amazing to see how quickly she picked up on the instructions. That's exactly why we decided to complete a training class before we formed any bad habits. If anyone ever breaks into our home, I'm going to let her handle it. I might miss.
