I have thoughts, ideas, an occasional opinion, but not a side. When I say I have no dog in this fight, I mean nothing to lose or gain personally. I have always found America's love of guns fascinating and find the arguments from both sides very enlightening.
I've always been attracted to discussions that provoke extreme responses. I strive to be a voice of reason, yet often find myselfthe target of derision by both sides in debates like this. I rarely encounter such extreme views IRL as I do here. That's why I post here.

WTF is MURKA? Packerowner740 Sep 2014 #17

Murka is the country where Dubya was president. Starboard Tack Sep 2014 #19
