James, Everyone has a role to play. Some are a fountain of knowledge on the topic of the double guns we love, some are like a drunken court jester. It's a big tent site, I like to think. But, some people I value more on the subject of the topics of the day, so to speak.
Have a great day.
Best, Ted

Dave does allow people to vent here which is uncommon on any other board.
If it came down to it I think this would be my last board also.

TED & OTHERS,
I'm solidly in your camp on politics and values. But I suggest you grow a "thicker skin" and not let these idiot protesters get under it. I just ignore or or delete their dribble, and don't let it upset me, or ruin my day. And I never get into word battles with the uninformed. Just let it go...
I have always enjoyed your wise commentary on SxS's, and hope you will continue to offer such.

First, please let me say thank you Ted. It was very kind of you to mention me. I know I have said this before but I generally just try to be the canary in the coal mine. I think it may help some to see where they may be headed if they aren't careful. Secondly, I too appreciate all the links James M posts. But unlike James, I'm quite happy to have the dissenting voices that show up here on occasion. Always good to know what the enemy is thinking. Ted, I know the forum you are referring to, I know the thread you probably read and I too rolled my eyes at what is frankly a juvenile response. As you say Ted, ownership of guns IS POLITICAL. We didn't ask that it be that, but others have made it that way. And finally, here's a shout out to my internet buddy Lloyd for starting the whole thing! Good going Lloyd.

As for Dave's list that Ted referred to, I wrote my Senator, Democrat John Tester, to complain about that ruling. He replied that he was protesting it too.

The group hug is really sweet and since all y'all feel so good about yourselves I'll not bother reminding you of the actual reality of the status of gun owners etc

....& OTHERS,
I'm solidly in your camp on politics and values. But I suggest you grow a "thicker skin" and not let these idiot protesters get under it.... This isn't the worst thought, but it implies that the 'pro' folks are just running on emotion. True this thread may have been started by someone who 'felt' like starting it, but I suspect it has more to do with policy than ruffled feathers. A good example of what our 'friends' here may be thinking is summed up by nca. He said he doesn't care about any dem anti gun agenda or policy, he supports the dems because he agrees with and supports ALL their other policy without exception. Take a quick look at the example above, back a few months ago, Montana sen tester threw his full support and endorsement behind hrc. I wouldn't argue with a screen name, but maybe it's not the worst idea to let that agenda known that it won't always be rubber stamp sailing to the far left.
