Wyoming Feeling No Joy in Obama Inauguration

I feel sorry for people who aren't feeling the moment. As far as I'm concerned if someone has the gall to say that Obama isn't patriotic, they have other issues, among them stupidity.
Only 33% of voters in Wyoming voted for Obama. Of all the troubles we have, they seem to be most concerned about someone taking away their guns:
Just days before the inauguration, the cash register is ringing at a gun shop in Laramie. Owner Dieter Sturm says sales are up 50 percent to 100 percent. People worry, he says, that Obama will ban certain semiautomatic weapons. Those are going especially fast.

"He's one of the best guns salesmen," Sturm says. "Actually, he's better than the Clintons, and they were damn good."

Anxious About Obama

Sturm didn't vote for Obama. He questions the president-elect's patriotism and his stance on Iraq. But for now, Sturm says the specter of a Democratic president is good for business. More at NPR
