Invite

[novus collectus]

Guys, while I seriously doubt he takes me up on it, I invited someone who lives in D.C. to post on this board. He is not pro gun rights IMO, but please be nice because he seems intelligent and might learn something about the issue from us. even if he never agrees with us on a majority, any education we can supply him and he learns will go a long way towards letting him and his D.C. peers at least understanding our side and position.

OK

Good work

An open mind and polite conversation go a long way to further our cause

tru that alucard. Last thing we need is for more from the other side thinking we're dumb redneck gun-nuts. anything we can do to convince some anti's that we're just like them and that guns can be a useful tool when handled responsibly the better.

Don't worry Novus, we'll treat him with the same respect we give you.


Any friend of yours, is a friend of yours.

Some dude I met at Duclaws. He was in between a war veteran Marine and war veteran soldier.
The sad part about the gun rights position was the soldier was like a partial Brady, but at least he was open to a different view too though.

I invited all three. As a matter of fact the former (I think he was a former) soldier asked me about my MDShooters shirt, but he thought it was a gun club at first.

Oh I warned him.
I said if he stated his RKBA views here he WILL be flamed, but I said I hope after the notification to us all this will be mitigated and still allow him a chance to learn.

What would be cool is if one of us or his friend the solder asked him to go shooting at least once. That way it could remove much of the mystery for him.

Anti's are useful tools. I don't consider myself "just like them". I'm not afraid of, nor do I attribute goodness or badness to, inanimate objects. I don't make arguments based on emotional appeals.
