What an excellent conversation.

I will say right here that I'm anti-gun to the point I'd cheerfully support out and out confiscation, but I'm also sufficiently grounded in reality to know that won't happen. Nor will Hillary be banning very many guns. Maybe things like AK-47s, but certainly not handguns or ordinary hunting rifles.

I recognize that I occupy an extreme place on the gun ownership continuum. No need to point out to me that I'm wrong or anything like that. Had I been in that bar with you I would have laughed in the face of that man. Glad you were there instead of me, to hold a sensible conversation with him.
