"The thing is, you CLAIM you want to 'elevate the debate', but then you continue to name-call those who disagree with you. (Evidence your title and your post #13.) That sounds decidedly conflicted."

'Asked and answered, Your Honor.'

Please re-read post 13.

You mean #13 where you wrote: "b. There are some posters on the other threads to whom that moniker (Ed: Rudy-haters) fits like a glove." ????

See, in #13, in effect, you were still name-calling people you disagree with.

Ask the mods to change your title, ask them to pull your #13, and you will be going a long way toward redeeming yourself on this thread.

Until then, you're giving us the impression you're behaving like a hypocrite. Elevate your side of the debate before asking your opponents to do likewise.

Last year Common Tater ran into a sand-bank. He apparently had some health issues prior to, and presumably after he made contact. Not sure if that factored in to his "withdrawal" from FR.

Wish him well wherever he is.

As to Rudy? Unless and until he mends fences with the NRA/GOA/RKBA crowd he has ZERO chance of getting our vote. He is the consummate gun-grabber. Not sure at this late date, and after so many transgressions he can change our opinion of him.
