KB I normally stay out of this type of discussion because I not going to change peoples minds on how they perceive this country, they can believe what they want as long they have respect for somebody else's point of view.
But when people talk down or disrespect somebody's point view thats why I reacted last night and that I had to much Diet Mountian Dew earlier. BTW it's Uncle Buck's Fault, he started it anyway
Not so fast, MrHyde-
Here are your words -
"people like you only want to debate made up facts"
I'll ask you again, point out one fact which I made up.
"people like you"
You used that phrase several times, so answer: what do you know about me, and what people am I like?
Tough question, eh? Here, I'll help you out:
I do lots of target shooting and as much upland hunting as I can.
I look for every opportunity to introduce newbies to shotgunning so they will learn that properly handled guns are not dangerous and the people who shoot them are not nut cases. Over the years I've started at least twenty new shooters.
I provide financial support to our High School shooting team, which now has 100+ young shooters.
I volunteer my time to help our local club prosper and bring in new shooters.
I think all responsible adults should be able to own guns, however I have no objection if law enforcement knows who does own guns, and I have no problem at all denying gun ownership to criminals and the mentally unstable.
I dislike people who damage the reputation of responsible gun owners with statements like "Get armed up, we're going to take our country back from "them", and who propose gun violence as a solution to political differences.
I absolutely hate those who promote gun violence. You know who I mean, those folks whose ranting and raving encouraged Jim Adkisson to enter the Universalist Church in Knoxville with his 12 ga and begin killing good people. Listen to what Adkisson said to police officers -
During the interview Adkisson stated that he had targeted the church because of its liberal teachings and his belief that all liberals should be killed because they were ruining the country, and that he felt that the Democrats had tied his country's hands in the war on terror and they had ruined every institution in America with the aid of major media outlets. Adkisson made statements that because he could not get to the leaders of the liberal movement that he would then target those that had voted them into office. Adkisson stated that he had held these beliefs for about the last ten years.
And where did Adkisson get those ideas? Turn on AM talk radio and listen for yourself.
