The NRA has become the armed insurgency wing of the Republican party.

35. You really want an answer? Here.

First, if you attempt to come into my house, I'm going to assume you mean my family harm. Yes, I will likely shoot.

Second, yes there are gun nuts. There are also anti-gun nuts. I despise the latter even more than the former. If I were the victim of a gun crime, they would use my misfortune to further their agenda, but if I were to defend myself with a firearm, they would want me imprisoned. They are hypocrites to say the least.

Yes, I believe there is an agenda to completely disarm the populace. I've certainly seen and heard nothing from people like you to dissuade me from that belief.

I also believe the 2nd Amendment gives individuals the rights to bear arms, and I have absolutely no use for people who are so self-righteous they believe that they, in their wisdom, should be able to piss on those constitutional rights.

Again, I truly hope to never have to shoot (or otherwise harm) anyone. I don't hunt, and I don't even shoot for fun. I'm just a realist who believes that firearms are sometimes necessary. Unicorns don't exist. A pot of gold at the end of the rainbow would be a statistical anomaly. Relying on the better part of human nature (which rarely exists in reality) for security is a pipe dream at best, idiocy at worst.
