Over-analyzing

A recent question was asked:

Whose administration do you think was better for gun owners: Bill Clinton's, or George W. Bush's?

Billery's overreaching attacks on the 2A led to a resurgence of the pro-rights movement resulting in sweeping elections, dozens of states passing CCW, increase in memberships of multiple groups, etc.

OTOH:

Bush's appointments to the SCOTUS got us the decision in Heller.

But on the OTHER hand (Yes, I'm a fan of Fiddler on the Roof):

Had the resurgence not occurred and Gore following blindly in the anti-gun footsteps of El Cigarro, Gore could possibly have won and given us several more SCOTUS judges who believe the US needs to be based on international standards.

So, IMTO, Hillary and her wife were better for gun owners. Will another resurgence occur if/when we get another similar situation? Who can tell. We have a good, strong base right now but, as the anti's discovered, it can be lost.

Hey, nobody ever accomplished a greater increase in the sale of AR, AK and SKS type rifles to the public than Dr. Clarinette, not to mention the leaps forward in tumbhole stocks.

And they didn't even really ban anything!

I say we owe them a thank you note.

Lead is the element we make bullets out of, the word you are looking for is led, the past tense of the verb.
