King, you make some excellent points, both in your most recent post and in most others from you I have read, in this thread and others. I particularly agree with the idea that few citizens are simply one issue voters. Most of us want good government with all that implies.
I believe we all share a love of fine firearms and we all are concerned, at some level, that we will be able to continue to enjoy them, without the needlessly heavy hand of the state interfering.
Would that we see ourselves as others see us.
On here we have, for the most part, only the written word by with to form our conclusions about the other members posting and their ideas. The best, most persuasive posts I ever read are those that offer knowledge and insight and avoid personality. It doesn't seem to matter the subject. You seem to exemplify that approach.
Sometimes it's seems this form of communication too easily becomes a "type and hit send" rather than a thoughtful exposition of ideas.
Thanks for your contributions.
