Dave, let me also applaud your decision to let this thread run its course. Either we're for or against gun control. I happen to be against it. I'm not sure I'm am a part of the majority of our country in this opinion.

We must have some forum to express our opinions on this. If not here on a gun site, then where? I do not think the nutcases on our forum accurately express our positions. On the "off topic" forum here I choose to ignore three of the folks that upset me, but I think their opinions should be considered by the full membership with appropriate comments by the members here who have an opinion without the gang tackling tactics that prevail on the bottom forum.

We have some good minds here and I believe your decision to let this thread remain at the top of the page will result in some opinions that may just make a difference in the battle with which we are faced....Geo
