2. "...not taking this vote serious"

That's a real shame. I love young people because they're usually the voice of change. The only way to make progress from where we are is to change. Everyone needs to collectively take the rudder and steer. Just drifting politically in many ways got us where we are today.

Thanks for your kind words. My current job is kicking my ass and so is my sinus infection so I don't quite have as much to say. I will be more active when things get a bit easier.

Not only do politicians have not so much experience with nor knowledge of firearms but most non-owners have little interest as well. I look for reason in people and candidates. Of the 100% spectrum of beliefs (from the radical "ban everything that goes bang" side to those who think the only firearm law we need is "there's sales tax on that" ) I tend to remove the 10% of ideas at each end sort through the middle. Candidates are often guarded about their ideas on firearm law.

I'm not a single issue person as far as support for a candidate but probably half of my posts are about gun issues.

Aside from supporting Democrats I wouldn't vote Republikon any time soon for fear a local R would follow the line of the GOP (great orange plague.)

Thanks again and keep up the fight.
BTW what was your MOS/specialty?
