GFC Great article. Thanks. Not all progressive and forward thinking individuals (liberals as you call it) are gun haters, or stupid idiots. I have some friends that are extremely conservative and hate guns.
Sir -
I suppose my comment "for (intelligent) liberal friends & relatives...", was somewhat unfair. I was not intending to peg all liberals as un-intellegent, although in retrospect, I can see how it might look that way to some. Many liberals are indeed, quite intelligent.
My thought was, that only an intelligent, fair minded liberal, would have a chance of appreciating the merits of the author's write up.
With regards to the gun control issue, my beef w/ liberals, or anti-gun conservatives for that matter, is that they want to limit my ability to effectively defend myself, & my family.
Many liberal (& so called conservitive) politicians even claim to be pro-gun, & supporters of the 2nd Amendment. Yet when the chips are down, they will follow the national gun owner registration, gun registration / confiscation party line - because that is where their financial support comes from. As such, in my opinion, regardless how much OTHER common ground MAY be shared, we can not champion the Liberal / Progressive Movement, & realistically expect our 2nd Amendment rights to remain intact.
Just my two cents...
