Heard of the first, will have to look up the 2nd :)
THIS is how people agree.
NO, I don’t have the love and fervor for guns that many southerners and Heartland folks have.
So what? I KNOW how important they are and I KNOW I have to have some basic experience in using them and I need to own one.
AND I KNOW any restrictions lead to MANY restrictions.
It’s not like others are saying “YOU MUST LOVE GUNS AS MUCH AS WE DO OR YOU SHOULD BE IN PRISON OR DEAD!!”
Well, most aren’t :)
I’ve met gun owners on here who LOVE LOVE LOVE Guns, all kinds, and are REALLY REALLY good at using them.
And I’e gotten lots of advice and some have hoped that I would develop the same love.
I HAVE enjoyed learning a lot more about them.
But at no time did someone say “if you don’t love them then you are the enemy!!”
As long as I don’t try in any way, even in my voting, to abridge any rights, it’s all good.
See abortion/gay marriage/transgender activism for the EXACT OPPOSITE approach.
BTW, the gun lovers’ approach makes you MUCH MORE receptive to them than these other freaks.
I am in agreement with your statements about guns.
I was trying to be funny with the McGovern statement. There are probably a good number of FREEPERS who remember the 1972 campaign.
