96. And you seem to be quite the confirmed extremist...

whos immediately move to plug his/her ears. If you study prohibitions, you will see they all stem from a hatred of some enemy; racial, sexual, status, religion, foreign, or a possessor-of-something. Frankly, I don't know much about your opinions, so I don't know what you are talking about.

Don't kid yourself about the culture war. It's been going on a long time before the innertube, before pop-up web sites, before, the screaming hate-fests on DU. You can find plenty of bathroom scrawl about gun-owners in the old print media back when Boston was charting hits. Only they weren't the folks that stumbled in and found a keyboard. They were editors, columnists, politicians, "opinion leaders," etc. who thought they could get a cheap victory by smearing tens of millions of gun-owners.

You can -- as extremists here have done -- cite "NRAtalkingPoints, Inc." all you want, but your intent evidently is to avoid debate. But that is part of the doctrine and narrative of gun-control/ban politics and is NO substitute for finding "common ground."

I don't block off people, we can resume discussion when you wish.
