I was browsing both forums and forgot that I wasn't in a Free Speech Zone. I suppose it doesn't matter, since I have nothing to say when the SOP is "All Brady, All The Time."

I would, however, disagree with the contention that anyone who believes the Second Amendment also covers ammunition is "peddling the NRA line." That litmus test would rule out quite a few of your running buddies, even the "collective right" crowd. An ammunition-less militia? Brilliant.

My guess is that it had more to do with the fact that the tide of the discussion was starting to turn against one of the hosts. Poor Delicate Flower...
