I doubt that anyone will remember a movie back in the early 80's staring a young Patrick Swazy called Red Dawn.<br/><br/>The basic plot is that the russians invade the US, with the help of the cubans and mexicans. The story takes place in a small town and so on and so forth.<br/><br/>One of the early scenes is a russian soldier prying a pistol from the hand of a dead man at the back of a pick-up truck with a bumper sticker proclaiming, "You can have my gun when you pry it from my dead, cold hand."<br/><br/>I wonder if the hand was cold? It was just an interesting scene that stuck with me after all of these years.<br/><br/>No, the american citizenry won't give up thier weapons and every time there is something like this, gun sales actually skyrocket for several weeks. After 9-11, gun sales hit an historic high, as did carry concealed permit request. The same thing after the Oklahoma bombing. There's more than enough support against the anti-gun movement that getting the ammendmant pulled is all but impossible and while at least one political party has figured out how much power the states actually have, they are also discovering now that it's backfiring (no pun intended) on them over the whole women's rights fight.<br/><br/>Of the voting population, just over 50% are women...<br/><br/>Out of that, more than 50% are reportedly going against the right.<br/><br/>How will it feel to figure out that you alienated slightly over 25% of the voters in the country before you even started?
