Every time I see a photo of Castro, I immediately think of Mel Brooks! Just me?

Me too. I hope by November there is still a candidate who supports my issue, but it is not looking good.

I'm legitimately curious about this. I assume the one issue is 2nd amendment rights. If not, please correct me.
Our government has some influence over lots of things that impact us every day and potentially for our lifetimes and the lifetimes of our children:
1) Healthcare. We've been tracking toward "completely affordable" for decades. We just had a president that opted us all in to what was likely an unpopular healthcare system. That system didn't deliver what was promised. We have someone running for president that is an open Socialist. We're probably about one presidency away from a single payer system.
2) The health of the economy. Your ability and my ability to have a job and make enough money to support our families.
3) Retirement. Social Security is insolvent. The vast majority of Americans haven't saved much of anything and most depend on it.
4) Taxes. Our continued involvement in foreign wars, continued deficit spending, and unsustainable healthcare means that we're all going to have to pay eventually.. Our our kids will pay. At least that's the most likely outcome.

Of all these issues, why is the right to keep and bear arms the most important? I'm not criticizing that choice at all, I'm just wanting a different perspective on it.

That's all the pro gun confiscation crowd can respond with. Any other argument falls even shorter.

When gun owners finally get all we can stand and start using those responses, hurt will follow.
