Feb 2016

I believe we should get rid of all guns, you dont.

The reality of life will be somewhere in between, and I think we need to focus on that, as you are doing here, I congratulate you for doing that and for not getting angry at some of the negative comments.

The people here can be ADAMANTLY opposed to your position, as I am, and still recognize you are not a gun nut ammo-sexual or whatever the phrases are.

Those people exist, for sure, including a few here at DU, you are NOT one of them.
