While I would agree with you on getting the word out... Most people that read huffington post are what I like to call liberal idiots and no matter how logical the argument is... Because it involved firearms and schools they would not listen to reason... They want the gun free zones because they think that even after columbine and Virginia tech and this most descent tragedy... The only way to stop violent acts with firearms is an all out ban on them...

Even here in Austin most people think that your average grocery store is a gun free zone because they sell beer and wine...I just don't have the heart to tell them about the "unlicensed posession" signs and that a CHL allows me to walk right in and do my business without having to disarm... Because I don't want to perform CPR on them when they have a heart attack

"Modern" liberalism isn't even that anymore. It's authoritarian marxism.

Good job, Andy; :thumbs2: though you probably know you'll never change their opinion :banghead: you ceratinly appear to be having fun. :biggrinjester: I always remind any anti gunners I encounter of the fact that when the 2nd Amendment was written and for generations afterward most American homes had at least one firearm for procurement of food, defense and because it was the norm. Strangely there were few, if any, mass killings by psychos back then. :headscratch

BTW with the cold, cold weather and wind I was thinking of heading to Elm Fork for a round of Skeet! :biggrinjester: :biggrinjester:

They have no argument to anything you say. Are you sure those are real people posting on there? When did the zombies learn how to type? They will never understand real facts, only what there masters tell them to believe. :fire :rules:

Normally, a fair amount. But I'm willing to get any kind of dirty to defend the 2nd Amendment.

Don't count on it. I have a friend at the station that was, for all intents and purposes, anti 2A. As we sparred back and forth it came to what types of limits on which firearms are "allowed" often peppered with the tired old, "So you'd want anyone to have an RPG if they wanted it," kind of rhetoric. Then one day out of the blue came, will you take me shooting? Once I collected myself from the floor I said sure and we set a date (He sprung for lunch, fees and ammo). Before shooting and during lunch we were talking about the aspects of CHL's, the law and responsibilities and I asked if he would be surprised to know I was carrying a full sized pistol that I could employ in under 2 seconds. He was shocked.

Afterwards, he was now asking about home protection, security and what he was considering for when he got his CHL. So keep the faith, you never know what might "click".

Hey, AndyC, if they get out of hand, you can remind them that the deadliest massacre of school children in the USA happened in 1927 in Michigan, and no firearms were involved. The man used explosives, killing 38 children and quite a few grownups, as well. I say this not to belittle what happened recently, but to show that its not the tools that are used, but HOW they are used and WHO uses them that matters. That'll get them REAL spun up.

Apparently Huffington Post doesn't like my comments because they won't post them. An additional measure to slant the point of view to their anti-gun agenda.
