Thank you for replying craigd. In my defence I would say that to state an opposing view is not trolling and that everyone should be free to state an opinion and have it debated , is that not the essence of free speech ?However when the debate drifts to making a characterisation of those that disagree in order to belittle their viewpoint then not only is it juvenile but also tends towards censorship. If your argument is strong enough then censorship is not necessary..
I dont think any time spent hunting is wasted and would gladly spend time hunting with anyone. In fact it could be easily argued that time spent hunting with someone you disagree with is probably more profitable if it leads to you understanding the persons motivation for their beliefs..
I am sure I would be just as able to sincerely congratulate you on a right and left or a good shot on a high flying goose as I would anyone else. I find life too short to spend it doing otherwise.
As I have stated before The American situation is such that to be unarmed is probably not a good choice given the availability of firearms. In Scotland the availability of firearms is low and society as a whole benefits from that. Remember concealed carry was not an option immediately pre hand gun ban. To wish for an
environment where handguns were available here in Scotland after a background check would be detrimental to the country and that is a widely, if not totally , held view in Scotland. My views reflect those beliefs ,if you have an opposing view on firearms ownership and Scotland debate away Im not afraid to read a contrary opinion well argued.
