When it comes to private gun ownership these days it's rarely about resisting foreign invasions. It's usually the government is coming to put me in a FEMA camp, so I need my guns. Or they are going to ban all guns, so I need more guns.

A smart man once said to try to plan your life independent of who is elected to office. At least run your life in spite of who is elected.

A friend of mine followed this example. When President Obama was re-elected he bought 2,000 shares of Ruger stock. The stock skyrocketed. He sold half last May. He did not believe for a moment that President Obama was going to succeed in taking away the guns, just that enough other knee-jerk types did.

I can't help but admire his thinking and bank account.
