    The only sticking point is the guns.

    I joined up with liberalgunowners on that other site for a while, thinking I might find kindred souls that were pro-shooting sports, but understood that the way we handled gun ownership in this country had some problems.

    Nope.

    They were just as devoid of nuance and reason when it came to gun ownership as the conservatives. They figured slapping a rainbow or a “no step on snek” patch on their molle tacticool gear was good enough, but thoughts and prayers if a gay nightclub got shot up.

    So yeah, I think guns are fun and have a place in hunting and other sports. But not like what we’ve got now.

      Yeah I’m a gun enthusiast. I really like the laws the way they are now as they relate to me. So I get it. But how many mass shootings do we need before we admit there’s a problem right now? Maybe far in the future we can consider relaxing some of the regulations again. But right now, something about the current social situation is basically creating domestic terrorists. We need to start locking things down until it stops.

        Personally, I’m going to need at least 10,000 kindergarteners gun down in their class room before I’ll consider changing our sacred god given gun laws.

        Jesus wouldn’t want it any other way, as specified in Arms 3:16-108 in the Bible.
