Cary, you are pobably right- but please consider this. This column is the first, the Mis-fires is the last of the ones ourt gracious host Dave offers. Maybe that more readers go to this one to start their on-line session here, just a guess. I read some things inot this spiritied discussion, and in a way the disagreements are good, if they bond us to one goal- our long-term battle against the anti's-how many stamp collectors or bird watchers get as passionate as we legitimate gun ownrs do, and with very good reason. If we can overlook the minor points of view and work together, we have a chance. It might be easy, in theory, for a, let's say- Black Powder or Damascus shooter to say- "Well, the gang bangers want MAC-10's and AK-47 clones, I'm just a drop in the weapons' oceans, so I'm safe from the "Feinstein-Brady Bunch-Schumer-Dodd-Bloomberg Gruppen"- maybe for now, but NFL- Not For Long. Patton always admonished to NEVER underestimate the strength of an enemy position, these Aunties ain't gonna fold their little Liberal tents and go away.
