Jan 2014

am I trying to start an argument - everyone has their own causes. I consider myself a very liberal person but I don't have a problem with people who feel they need a handgun in their home for protection. But that comes with a lot of responsibility and should only be allowed after an extensive background check. So I have a position that both sides hate. Just like I know people who vote Democratic and consider themselves liberal but are anti-choice. It's a tricky dance when you're trying to appeal to the majority of voters.
