A Handgun for Heston, I am not Bitter Obama

After a considering many different models, renting at the range and a couple months of consideration (thanks to the folks over at the Boots and Sabers forum for your advice), I finalized my first handgun purchase this past weekend. The date I picked it up also happened to be the day former NRA President Charleston Heston died (check out Brian’s post with videos). I can’t think of a better way to commemorate his commitment to the 2nd Amendment then picking it up and heading out to the range.
Here it is, the CZ P-01.
Does this put me in the huge group of Americans that Barack Obama’s elitism offended with this statement?
“And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations”.
No, I was offended by the God part already, the rest of the quote is just icing on his elitist cake. Good to see that the American people are getting to know him better though. This is not the man we need running the country and every bit of him is politics as usual.

You are going to really like this pistol Brandon. If you don’t have a holster yet I highly recommend High Noon. They make some of the best leather on the market but you may have to wait a few months to get it.

And this past week we helped out by giving some money to a worker who made it in from Mexico and is now a part of our community.
Looks like we both helped out the economy.

Which part of Obama’s statement to you take offense to? It seems pretty reasonable to me. In context, what he’s saying is that the lower class has been promised much and delivered little over the past 25 years. Of course they’re bitter.
I don’t see why calling out the inequalities of our current economic system is perceived as “elitism”.

Well, I plan to cling even tighter to my guns. And like the followers of Obama, I’ll naively cling to hope, as well.
I HOPE that those who try to take my guns cling to religion, as they will need it considerably sooner than I will.

White people are bitter and frustrated. Better-qualified white students, employees, etc. face intense racial discrimination. Obama and his liberal comrades call it “Affirmative Action”.
Millions of white Americans see “people who aren’t like them” illegals and inner-city parasites sucking up on free benefits.
Millions of tax paying white Americans can no longer use the public school system because “people who aren’t like them” have made the schools awash with violence, drugs, and gangster rap.
Obama slipped and let his real feelings shine through what he thinks about working people to a bunch of elite Democrats. He thinks they are a bunch of gun toting jesus freaks. Obama really thinks like his preacher WRIGHT.

So Brandon, I’ve been dying to know…who DID take the gun from his cold, dead hands? (RIP, Mr. Heston, you were a great actor–albeit a lousy political activist. But you had Alzheimers, it wasn’t your fault.)
As somebody who clings to religion steadfastly, I must admit that I’m puzzled by the fact that a seemingly devout Lutheran like yourself considers clinging to religion to be a negative thing.
