Wow, Rowyn was right about you being alarmist. ;D If you think that the portion of the US population that is "hardcore fundies" is anywhere NEAR 33% then I'd have to say you're BADLY off - by a full order of magnitude!
I, for one, am one of the well-armed atheists - and I think that gun sales have been skyrocketing NOT because of Obamaism and fear on the other side of the isle, but due to widespread fear of economic collapse. Should the economy collapse in the US, you can be sure that things will revert to a less-peaceful "wild west" type state of being, where owning arms will be a necessary part of "having" anything. Everyone is arming up right now, not just the fundies...
