...and pass the ammunition

Great. The gun nuts are adding to their arsenals because Obama is a "gun snatcher." This is exactly what the U.S. needs right now. Paranoid, reactionary wackos with larger collections of assault weapons and a brand new reason to use them.

Here's the NYT story about it.

I sure hope Obama's Secret Service detail know what they're doing. Seriously. I can't be the only person worrying that some of this hateful, paranoid rhetoric will boil over into an assassination attempt...? I know people have been talking about the possibility for awhile, but some of this shit is really scaring me.

I agree--it was a gracious speech, delivered with a relieved tone. He actually looked a little worried about some of his more vocal supporters, though, both during that speech and previously on the campaign trail as he had to sort of talk people down from their paranoid, reactionary invective. I'm not sure he succeeded all that well.
