Not a good win-win situation

Obama has been a win for both gun nuts and White Supremacist groups. One is puzzled by the gun nuts because Obama has said almost nothing about gun ownership. Perhaps it is because his nomination for Attorney General once wrote an op-ed about keeping guns out of the hands of terrorists. Whatever the reason, they are stocking up. Both kinds of groups now have a high mistrust of government. Because of Obama's hefty Secret Service protection he may avoid their violence. But -- like the case of Timothy McVeigh -- if there is violence there is a high likelihood of civilian deaths.
