First, please let me say thank you Ted. It was very kind of you to mention me. I know I have said this before but I generally just try to be the canary in the coal mine. I think it may help some to see where they may be headed if they aren't careful.
Secondly, I too appreciate all the links James M posts. But unlike James, I'm quite happy to have the dissenting voices that show up here on occasion. Always good to know what the enemy is thinking.
Ted, I know the forum you are referring to, I know the thread you probably read and I too rolled my eyes at what is frankly a juvenile response. As you say Ted, ownership of guns IS POLITICAL. We didn't ask that it be that, but others have made it that way.
And finally, here's a shout out to my internet buddy Lloyd for starting the whole thing! Good going Lloyd.
