King: [/quote]I am not particularly militaristic.[/quote]
You had a lot of us here fooled with this one, King. Like yourself, I've a long family history of military service prior to WWI and on through...to include myself during the Vietnam era. None of which really matters at this point does it, if our constitution is now ignored?
This may come as a surprise to you, King, but there are fates far worse for an individual than actually dying. And until you grasp that, you are not really living, IMO.
Brian clearly recognizes this in putting it on the line in Afghanistan, for which we all should be eternally grateful. He may be doing it again as a military man by asking this question of his ....but I somehow sense that is the least of his worries these days. Although he's a 'big boy', I'll take it on and ask the same thing....'What rationale do you gun-toting members who voted for Obama (exc. King, of course, who would very much have liked to) employ in explaining your position, in light of recent anti-gun owner legislation?'
