I agree it was moronic as in what was he thinking? I like the man immensely but he has some serious blind spots and needs apparently a team to keep him from saying things like this. It is very insulting to people with strong religious beliefs...and it is not flattering to gun owners...people in these subcultures already had strong traditions and didn't necessarily make them up when good jobs were lost or try new stuff...which is not what he said but registered with me as what was implied, even though I am sure he didn't mean it like it sounded. mg
