Most of the democrats here all have guns, it's part of the hunting thing.

Me we retired here and I have never shot a gun in my life but I am from Napa, Ca wine country.

Welcome to DU. I joined in 2004 when I first woke up and saw what Bush was doing and thought the war was wrong.

One thing you will find about our side is we listen to opinions and try to be open minded. Education and learning is a big part of who we are.
