Not everyone you meet in the gun community is your friend. Lesson learned.
One day a bird was walking behind an elephant. The elephant (not even aware of the bird) took a poo. The bird was suffocating...
A cat came along and pulled the bird out of the poop and cleaned him all off...then promptly ate him.
Moral of the story :
Not everybody who harms you does it intentionally. Not everybody who helps you does it to benefit *you*.
