Ah. I think you're used to the threads where a bunch of guys are circle-jerking the mantra of, "I have a God-given right to own any kind of gun I want". And everyone agrees and starts burping words like hollow-point, full-auto, magnum, and pre-ban. Testosterone starts to drip from the screen. The urge to go out back and fire off a few rounds is intense.

Well, you won't get that on these threads. You get honesty -- it just sounds like atttude.

You can't fix something until you know where it's broken.

Absolutism sounds fine, to those who are already on one's own side. Here we have someone who is looking into something, and she gets attacked for not having the knee-jerk "if'n it's a restriction on mah guns, it's BAAAAAAD" attitude.

We didn't get to this point, where our rights are so circumscribed, overnight and we're not going to get them back overnight either. Demanding all or nothing, immediately, will result in nothing - or worse, further infringements.
