No, you don't have to. BTW, you accused me in around 20 posts of being unethical and against Manchin-Toomey, in spite of 20 posts pointing out my squishy support for it. Maybe both of our instances were wrong, but not far off the mark. I was barely for Toomey Manchin, you are barely for the Second Amendment.

Re: Colorado passes Gun Control Laws
Please feel free to show me where I have said that. Sigh. You seem to believe that not embracing the NRA = not really supporting the right to keep and bear arms. Obviously, this is false.Originally Posted by ICantSpellDawg
And yeah, your triumphalism over the defeat of a bill that would have probably strengthened the Second Amendment struck me as utterly amoral and self-defeating. And your whole glib "criminals will get guns anyway" line of rhetoric is so vacuous that it's almost impossible to take seriously. Criminals will just get into your car, so don't lock it. Making life harder for criminals is a worthy goal, a moral goal. Dismissing common-sense measures to limit the damage they do is ... well, it appears to be ethically challenged.

Re: Colorado passes Gun Control Laws
Shouldn't the right to bear arms include the ability to make your own for personal use?
After all women bear children...
Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
Pape for global overlord!!
Re: Colorado passes Gun Control Laws
Yes to making your own

Re: Colorado passes Gun Control Laws
The NRA is a powerhouse in the battle to retain the right to keep and bear arms. You don't support the NRA, you don't own firearms, you reject the notion that small arms would be effective against government, you most likely have a very low crime rate where you live, you take potshots at every pro2a argument there is. I don't see you as someone who defends it.
I believe in trade unions when the going gets rough. Solidarity is important in harnessing power for little nobodies like you and I. You reject common cause and think that your agenda will go places. I don't think so. Like 2a, don't like current NRA positions on every issue, join it, explain a better way.
