This is where we'll have to agree to disagree. As much as I don't want Romney as CinC, I absolutely believe BHO is worse. Given that the chances of someone else to get in is zero, I'd rather take a slightly greater that 50/50 chance that the conservative side of him will appoint new conservative replacements for the Supreme Court. If I don't take that chance, and BHO stays, then it's about a 10/90 or 0/100 chance that BHO will bring in more of the likes of Sotomayor and Kagan, who both have expressed anti-2A decisions.
Look at it this way, if Romney comes in and gets a few conservative judges in and you don't like him, vote him out, but at least we have some justices that will stay and hopefully defend not only our 2A rights, but ALL rights as written in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

If you think I'm delusional, then so are most on this and other forums discussing this very topic. I am active in my own decisions. If you just allow yourself to be like so many people who own firearms and don't even have a membership in any of the many rights organizations, then you're just in the way. I'd hope that you aren't one of them.
There is safety in numbers, and action in numbers. If a person owns firearms worth hundreds to thousands to exercise their freedom but can't spend $40 to join the NRA or SAF to maintain that freedom, how can I trust that person to even vote for a presidential candidate? You don't even have to be a member if you don't like the organization but they represent all of us and it costs money to carry the weight of all of us.
Not that it matters, but I am a NRA and GOA member.
The government can pick and choose what segment of society to attack. The only reason 2A still exists is because the government is busy stripping away what's left of our economic rights first. When the ruling class decide to eliminate 2A, no amount of NRA lobbying will stop it.
FD15K: What does your question about another war have to do with the topic of this thread?
We are screwed if we have four more years of either Romney or Obama. Our individual rights continue to be under attack from both sides.
If anyone thinks Romney will nominate "conservative" judges then all you have to look at is John Roberts who was appointed by Bush (who was far from a conservative) and how he voted on Obamacare.
We are screwed if we have four more years of either Romney or Obama. Our individual rights continue to be under attack from both sides.
And we have people in this country who want to remove the second amendment because they feel that it doesn't apply anymore outside of the black-powder age. Stranger yet, we have people who don't even live in this country dictating that we should remove the second amendment altogether.
Unfortunately we need somebody at the top to make sure the president and his scheisters du-jour don't bow down to them. And that's where this thread has taken us since those experts on the bench all have their biases. Not to say that conservatives are right in all their decisions - we're only discussing 2A.
So a 50/50 chance of Romney doing something that hasn't even happened yet is automatically equivalent to what Bush did in 2005/2006 and what Obama already proven by doing twice (2009 and 2010)? This doesn't make sense. Bush also appointed Alito, by the way.
I think you're missing the point,
I agree they're the same and in 4 years of presidency there will be little difference, Supreme court justices though are appointed for life and that is a long term problem, if we swing the balance to the leftists your constitutional rights will suffer long term and our freedoms will be suffer.
We all have different priorities on what is important for a president, Supreme Court, or even a wife. Do you agree with EVERYTHING that your wife believes? Yet you're still married.
