Personally, I would never buy that hat or wear a shirt like that, but I'm no longer 18 years old either.

That said, I'll admit I have a knee-jerk reaction to anything from the national AFA when they have at previous times called for people to go to the feds to complain about things and invoke censorship. If it's strictly the free market solution, I don't have a problem with it.

Unfortunalty, it's a catch 22. On one hand is what you are describing. The other hand is AOL where guns are considered porn, and they have removed pro-2a websites that were previously on their server. I'm sure you're book is considered 'porn' to them.

That's why I'm tilted so far in the other direction on it. If the controversial things I'm personally against are eliminate, sooner or later the ones I support will be eliminated.

Nobody is carrying a shotgun into IHOP and waving it around, so I don't see what that has to do with anything.

Imagine you have an innocent yet inquisitive 7 year old, and you want to give that child a childhood, and not have her turned into a slut just by seeing filth and obscenities everywhere, including in IHOP after church.

What would YOU do? Explain "FCUK" to your 7 year old daughter? Smile?

It's a (culture) war my friend. The 2A is but one battlefront.
