13. I have never threatened

Mon Oct 5, 2015, 04:22 PM

Oct 2015

Anyone with death but I am willing to speak against anyone who does.

My request is much less drastic. Simply drop the pejoratives and penis references; converse like an adult.

I'll drop unicorn jibes and all others if the "murder enabler" jibes stop. It would also be nice to see an end to wishes of gun owners children being murdered.

Gun owners do talk to each other. This is an invitation to be included. Just to let you know in advance, 'repeal the Second Amendment' and 'ban them all' will not be considered. OTH no one will demand guns be sold without any regulations. If the person says that you are not dealing with a moderate.

We may also suggest non-gun solutions like major social programs and reforms to combat crime. They are hard to achieve and expensive long term goals but will ultimately attack root causes of all crime. It will take a long time and isn't helped when Democratic seats are surrendered in the cause of dogmatic purity. Of course gun control become more remote as those seats are taken by Republicans.
