It's the hypocrisy that's a major part of the problem IMO.
It's ok for me just not YOU!
Live and let live people!
Anyone remember my thread from the other morning?
problem with your theory is they don't just live, they try to force Libtardism on us and think they can care for us better than ourselves and don't don't want us to be responsible. This creates dependants and permanent Dem Voters.
Hi Smagel,
Typically gun owners lean right politically, so you're probably talking to a bunch of knuckleheads that won't ever agree with you.
It'll be like that on any gun forum you visit.
So welcome aboard, and don't sweat the petty things.
We ALL love our guns.

I'm expressing an opinion. The inability to tolerate the opinion of others is exactly what my post is about.

I don't really think of this board as the place for political discussions outside the realm of gun rights, but others often use this issue as an entry point to bash other liberal positions here--inappropriately, I believe. There are plenty of boards to jump up and down about political and social issues and I think those discussions belong there, not here.

No the problem is both sides want to control and feel offended and start calling Butt hurt.
Anyone that just votes along party lines is just drinking that party's Koolaid it's called free thinking and most people these days either don't want to do it or have spend time on other things wrongly or rightly so.
Well Said...Gotta poop, let me know if I missed anything.
You'll never gain support from the other side with that attitude...

Comments in the linked thread led me to finally address something that has bothered me since becoming a part of the shooters' community.
I repeatedly see the label "liberal" thrown around as being synonymous with "anti-gun" and, by implication more often than not, "moron."
Yes, most people who identify as liberal also support a narrow interpretation of the Second Amendment, but not all do, so please don't lump us all together.
I hold predominately liberal positions. So what? I also enjoy my guns and the right to keep them. I look forward to when my right to bear them in MD is no longer infringed. However, I often feel unwelcome on this board and others because the term "liberal" gets tossed around as an epithet.

On this board, I really don't care about your views on gays, abortion, taxes or anything else, just gun and 2A issues. And those are what my posts here will be about (except for this one, of course).
Education is good. It might be time to reevaluate some broad-brush opinions of liberals re: gun rights.
