Cognitive Dissonance
I saw a car today with a few bumper stickers. Two of them stood out in my mind: an Obama/Biden ’08 sticker and a “ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ” one.
Now, I don’t really care about other people’s political beliefs, so long as they don’t infringe on my rights, but it seems rather contradictory to have a sticker proclaiming that one would only give up one’s weapons “over [my] dead body” (either literally or metaphorically) and a sticker advocating the election of a candidate who has a well-known history of voting against the rights of gun owners.
Go figure.
I have a feeling that many gun owners (and FFL holders!) voted for Obama so they could see the value of their gun and ammo collections virtually double overnight.
