The day that tape was released, I met with a group of women friends, and about 1/3 shrugged it off as "lockerroom" talk and thought the rest of us were overreacting (& after the other creepy stuff he said). They voted for him, of course. Needless to say, I don't count them as friends anymore.

Military grade weapons need to be turned over to appropriate authorities and melted down. Then all the rest must be registered, insured, permitted with adequate training, and locked up by their owner. Gun manufacturers cannot sell military weapons or ammo to the public or for private ownership.

I'm sure you're right. Most of the people I knew in TN were transplants from blue states. Quite a few of them have aged into more conservative views, some of which I believe has to do with finding "Jesus" in their local churches. (More then a few of them have retired and moved even further south.)
