Maybe you should move to Indiana or Michigan where you can tote to your hearts content?

"I also kind of doubt that you can speak for "most posters" on DU or any other group for that matter."

Please make sure to chime in the next time your arguments get the light of day at DU.

"But ... I'd be a little careful of referring to other DU members "wing nuts". We've lost some of our best ever "gun control enthusiasts" that way, when Skinner demanded more civility in this forum. In fact, after he did, we lost a bunch of gun control supporters that couldn't abide by his rules and control themselves."

You're probably right, I'll go with "illegal gun proliferation enthusiasts"

Aloha to you and yours, just please don't do what this guy did:

The NRA if funded by over 4 million dues paying members. GreenStormCloud Jan 2012 #28

"The NRA is funded and backed by gun manufacturers." rl6214 Jan 2012 #30

"The NRA is funded and backed by gun manufacturers." Simo 1939_1940 Feb 2012 #74

The NRA is not at all concerned with gun manufacturers profits, that's just something you made up rl6214 Jan 2012 #29

?! Tuesday Afternoon Feb 2012 #103

Nope - you're wrong liberal_biker Feb 2012 #104

"Guns, are they a substitute for masculine deficiency?" Simo 1939_1940 Feb 2012 #106

I agree. NRA is a right wing organization. nm rhett o rick Jan 2012 #10

Guns are an important part of right wing existence. nm rhett o rick Jan 2012 #12

You have the avatar of a sectarian terrorist who planted a bomb. Nuclear Unicorn Jan 2012 #43

Yes I have an avatar, but no gun. nm rhett o rick Jan 2012 #44

The avatar of a man who wanted to use a bomb to impose his religion. Nuclear Unicorn Feb 2012 #72

Notice Henigan's backhanded acknowledgement of Heller's validity in that piece. friendly_iconoclast Jan 2012 #41

Yep, the judge be right. Heller was "quite narrow," despite what the NRA told their minions. Hoyt Jan 2012 #56

Unfortunately for those on the pro-gun control side, McDonald was not "quite narrow"... S_B_Jackson Feb 2012 #89

You better hold em tight. Hoyt Feb 2012 #90

Do you disagree that states and municipalities who are intent upon infringing S_B_Jackson Feb 2012 #94

Yep, Heller was narrow pipoman Feb 2012 #71

Just shows how easily precedent is reversed -- especially 5/4 decision on issues like guns. Hoyt Feb 2012 #95

What, pray tell, was reversed? pipoman Feb 2012 #97

You have many examples.... liberal_biker Feb 2012 #99
