When deer hunting season opens this weekend, Wisconsin’s poor deer hunters are going to be at even more of a disadvantage than usual in their annual attempt to match wits with highly intelligent animals.
This year, deer hunters are going to be burdened by carrying heaping armloads of guns into the woods with them.
Deer hunters and other gun lovers have been absolutely terrified ever since Nov. 4 that President-elect Barack Obama is going to swoop down on their homes and confiscate all their guns.
In a panic, thousands of gun owners have raced to their nearest gun dealers to stock up on handguns, semi-automatic assault weapons and enough ammo to level the entire state of Wisconsin.
One gun dealer called Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden “the most anti-gun people ever to be in the White House.”
Golly, you’d think the late President Lincoln would have been pretty anti-gun. Certainly, his widow sitting next to him at the theater wasn’t a real big fan.
In the first two weeks of November, gun sales and background checks nearly doubled in Wisconsin compared with the same period a year earlier when scary Democrats weren’t being elected. What comes through from these stories is just the opposite of the image gun owners want to project—that they are tough guys ready to shoot it out with any wild thing—man or beast—who crosses their path.
Instead, it turns out gun owners are big scaredy cats.
A majority of us were dancing in the streets celebrating a historic new direction for our country after pointless war abroad and economic disaster at home. But, for gun owners, their first thought was heart-pounding terror that they might not have enough guns and ammo to fend off all the demons that keep them awake at night.
It sort of proves the point Obama once made in an off-hand remark when he said small-town people who feel powerless in our country “cling” to their guns. The National Rifle Association itself was the first to celebrate the clinging phenomenon in a famous bumper sticker about prying guns from “cold, dead fingers.”
If you live in constant fear that someone is going to take all your guns away, you aren’t going to be foolish enough to leave any of them at home when you go up north to hunt deer this year, are you? That’s just what Barack Obama and Joe Biden want you to do.
While your wives are out getting drunk and tucking dollar bills into the g-strings of Chippendales, the Democrats are going to sneak in and clean out your entire arsenals. Gun owners still wake up trembling with fear, remembering the 10 horrible years after 1994 when semiautomatic assault weapons were banned in this country. Not only were assault weapons banned, but so were pistol grips, flash suppressors and bayonet mounts that could be used to convert hunting rifles into military assault weapons.
For 10 long years, gun owners lived in constant fear that godless hordes would attack their homes and get in close enough for hand-to-hand combat at a time when law-biding citizens were forbidden to buy bayonet mounts. President George Bush allowed the ban to expire in 2004 so Vice President Dick Cheney and other hunters in America would once again have the freedom to use any weapons they wanted to shoot their friends.
Actually, President-elect Obama, like most other Democrats, has always proclaimed his support for the Second Amendment and the rights of hunters and other law-abiding Americans to buy, own and use guns. But the gun lobby considers any politician an enemy unless he supports arming every American, drunk or sober, sane or insane. Let the chips—and the bodies—fall where they may.
That’s why really cautious deer hunters are going to be lugging every weapon they can carry into the woods with them. We hope no one drops one on his foot. We wouldn’t want anyone to get hurt by a gun.
Bigotry’s OK as long as you stereotype the right people! Thanks Joel!
And isn't he soooooooooo clever? I'm sure his smug leftie friends are so proud....
He must be thinking of ‘The Full Monty’.
Excuse me....but my Grandmother, Mother, Sister, nor I have visited male strippers during deer season! We were too busy preparing the meat that was brought home to feed ourselves. A**hole.
Complete BS!
She leaves that to the old man.
Hey Joel,
In the future everyone will be Michael Moore for 15 minutes.
But why would you want to be?
I’m sorry I read this. My IQ has dropped 10 points as a result.
Okay, one has to ask... is it a blue state or a red state? / sarc
ping!
So anti-gun he disarmed the entire Union army. Oh wait...
Deer: highly intelligent animals? I didn't have to read anything past this.
The left is full of hateful people like this. They're still stuck at the bottom of Maslows Hierarchy, and this is how they express their inner rage.
They try to force others to feel their pain, because they have to live with it on a daily bases.
They feel if they can make everyone else miserable, they'll feel better about themselves. They think it'll make life more "fair."
Long after this peabrain has lost his job, I will still have all of my guns.
He says that like it's a bad thing. Although I don't feel the need to level Wisconsin, other opportunities may present themselves.

There is nothing more stupid than an anti-gun person. Nothing.. Ever.. ANYWHERE
Mocking gun owners is Part 1 of the One's Agenda. This little comrade is just falling in line with the program. When the day comes that Joel will need a gun, he won't have it. Tough luck Joel your karma is coming when your gun-toting neighbor will remember this mocking piece of trash and makes a decision not to shoot to save your sorry life.
Honest Abe and the 2nd Amendment, nothing rings a bell, but knowing FR, someone may turn up with some information.
It is a fact that he accepted a gold plated Henry lever action. I'm sure he wouldn't had he not felt it was a citizens right to own the most advanced military weapon. Without the gold plating, of course. Other than bailout beneficiaries.
