Another of my letters made it in: This one about why guns are selling since obama's election.

Re: "Gun sales booming after Obama's win -- Customers say they fear Democrats will pass new restrictions," Saturday news story.

I know a bunch of gun owners who voted for Barack Obama, and I know many more who didn't because they don't believe him.

They don't believe that a product of Chicago politics could be any less anti-gun rights than the city's Daley political machine.

They don't believe him because of his past statements and voting record, both of them anti-gun rights.

And they choose to vote once again with their hard-earned dollars.

And many of us hope that we are wrong, but we are hedging our bets.

Good letter, Jim. I think that the antis could have "intuited" the reason why, but it's good that you spelled it out for them.
