Quote: "(please don't suggest fighting for gun rights isn't political)"
Wrong: It is NOT political it's idealogical. There are many Democrats that support the right to keep and bear arms right along with Republicans. This is an issue that clearly crosses party lines. Jim Jim do you keep that in mind all the time while you are posting? It seems to me that there is a lot of verbal blood letting on members who are of the lefty persuasion whom simultaneously enjoy owning guns. I for one am no better when it comes to defending a position. I'm a liberal, and I own several handguns, assault rifles and of course several doubles as well, but from your take on me in prior posts you would think I'm at your doorstep trying to take your guns from you as a liberal anti gun mole. Perhaps its best to keep in mind that we all do have something in common...

Geo
I can asure you there was no pretense of being offended. I was offended. I'm not trying to control any ones mind or thoughts, have a hard enough time with my own let alone anyone else's. If the "perjorative(sic) use of the term 'redneck' does not really upset" you that's fine. The pejorative use of the word wop upsets me, I'm sorry. I came here to talk about shotguns because I love them, not to get into pissing contests with anyone. I'm over it, its no big deal, I've got no hard feelings for anyone. Hell, wish I was down on L D's boat, lucky son of a gun. And thank you for being a gentleman in your post. Diasagree with me all you want, even be a little prickly, just don't be an a**&*le.

However: This to me this like being a practicing Catholic and Pro Abortion or a Mormon who owns a bar or a Pentacostal who doesn't believe what's in the bible. Jim
The 2nd Amendment IS an unalienable right.

Or perhaps even like a conservative supporting a presidential candidate who is an acknowledged adulterer and in his third marriage?
Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

Damn! Sounds like fun LD, wish I could. I'm a big Bocephus fan myself. One of the best concerts I've been to was D.A.C. and Hank in the gym at U.N.C. willmington.

Lonesome, Make sure LD shows you a picture of the boat he's going to take you out on. Maybe bring your own liferaft just in case. Check for leaks and all the usual stuff.

Criminetly.....how many angels can dance on pinheads? Nothing like a Good Ol' Doublegunshop.com companionable and courteous discussion over a few libations around the campfire. It doesn't matter where Dave chooses to place civil rights discussions. He doesn't eradicate them, after all. There is obviously plenty of 'board' interest here in the subject, apparently. Should the history, reasoning, and the first rate scholarly material on the '2nd' possibly prove too difficult for the Aunties and their present defenders to assimilate, then how about some outright propaganda? http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150461978648372.370730.547278371&type=1I swear, the apologists for gun-grabbing are like unto an interminable persistent cockroach infestation, save that the right to effective Raid still exists, despite the best [so far] efforts of Political Criminals to eradicate it. Kindly remember, that the Right entailed in the Second, is a right of OBLIGATION. As a citizen you are obliged to participate, from the smallest political unit, unto the complete Nation. There is no question at all that the 18th Century writer's knew what they were saying: individual ownership of and facility with firelock in good order is a political necessity to good civil order and national security. The Auntie congregation of today would have been shown short shrift by those gentleman, who had just paid in family blood and fortune to earn the liberty of free men. Every one of them knew and remembered that the direct precipitating factors of that unpleasantness centered around the Crown's effort to civilly disarm the populace. Useful: http://www.amazon.com/Powder-alarm-1774-Robert-Richmond/dp/0877690731http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powder_Alarm Disagree? Then do your own homework and figure out the genesis of the idea, as it lived and breathed for the founders of our Large Political Experiment. As to it's continued success, apparently it's got some wheels, judging from this spirited debate about where to place a discussion.
