Jim,
Without naming names, I too remember these "certain individuals" who favored lead shot and 'black gun' bans such as you've mentioned, all the while praising Obama here during July and August of last year. Some still post on this site but have now acquired the wisdom to lay low when these hot-button topics come up.
When the chickens do "come home to roost" you can count on these same enlightened souls to still be wallowing around on the henhouse floor......just more silently next time around.
