Good read-made it all of the way through it.
How about a NOVEL idea??
How about we use FACTS and SPECS in all of our political discussions?
To ME-It seems that the People of this USA have moved to an "American Idol" type of thinking where nothing is decided on the facts, just the EMOITIONAL FEELINGS that someone can inject into the conversation.
In MY mind, more use of the "Numbers" would make more sense on determining if a new law needs to be made or not. Keep promoting the 3% of ALL rifles that are used in violent crime-Post up the ACTUAL numbers of death and injuries by firearms vs knives, cars, hammers etc.
AND while we are with the numbers-Post up the percentages of the "Teens", on the streets of Chicago, D.C., Detroit, Miami, that are living on the street, in a gang, and act like ANIMALS to survive--THERE is where you will find the high numbers of illegal firearms use, and death/injuries to the Youth.
Let us get away from the pictures of Dead Children, Live Children, Cops standing in the background (that will be demoted if they don't), and all the other props, and pawns, that the anti's use, and lets stick to the FACTS!!
OK--Rant off...Bill.
Worth the time to read. Funny how the libs don't even know the laws they are writing.
The problem is that the only "facts" the gun grabbers are touting is this ridiculous mantra that 90% of Americans want things like UBCs.Good read-made it all of the way through it.

I don't doubt your experience at all. I'm just advocating for us not to do anything to hurt ourselves. They could very well be hurting their own cause by name-calling and insulting you depending on who else is seeing/hearing it. Let them, just don't retaliate, be the bigger man.
As for the politicians, the Democratic reps don't care as much about Republicans sending them emails as when someone who actually voted for them does it. I can't speak for all liberal gun owners, but I hold my representatives accountable even more when I cast a ballot for them. If they cross me, that'll be resolved in time. I'm left of center, but have no party allegiance, and don't vote straight ticket. I always try to choose the better of the two bowls of crap on the ballot, insofar as I can judge it. No one gets my vote by default. And just because those in Washington "would" take guns away, doesn't mean that they "can", just as we witnessed last week.
