We should remember that it is never good for one side to have the majority. For those who swing far left, a democratic majority great, same applies to the devout republicans (both insane on some levels in my book). For those of us in the center it is a shame because it is us whose freedoms are challenged. I voted for Obama mostly because this country desperately needs environmental reform. But I also am a (safe and trained) firearm owner who doesn't feel comfortable with the idea that a party who is openly for "gun bans" having the majority.
Whether or not you support "Gun" control, whether or not you think we need environmental reform, or health care reform, tax reform, etc, it is far better to have an open debate on the floor of congress than to have laws blindly passed through the doors as the republicans did 2001-2006.
Without checks and balances there is no legitimacy. This has been proven through multiple governments across the globe, including our own in the last decade.
Although I HATE this quote, and I 80% support Obama, I do not trust a democratic (or republican) congress so I leave you all with this (admittedly right-leaning) quote.
"I'll keep my firearms, my money, and my freedom... You can keep the "Change"."
