ORIGINAL: Lucylastic and who would post in that forum specifically? Are you cleverly trying to trick me into posting about other posters, rather than the topic, Lucy? As I skim and scroll through the buffet of gun control threads, we have people who are fanatic/fetishistic about firearms, people who understand the importance of gun rights in the American experiment, and people who hate the first two groups. Yes. I have guns in my home. Nobody is going to come and take them. Not because they'll have to pry them from my cold, dead, hands, but because nobody is going to come and try. There are a couple of people in my life who have freaking arsenals. The last time I saw one of them, he handed me a completely legal Bushmaster .223, likely identical to the one used in Newtown, and told me that it was the one he had for me, should the shit ever hit the fan, and then he put it back in the safe. Nobody is going to come take those, either. Too many gun-owning democrats have the same rationalization working about Democrats and gun control, that I have had working on Republicans and abortion. They will revolt at the polls in 2014, if the Administration overreaches. I'm not freaking out about the possibility of more gun control. Yeah, we're gonna get some. More paperwork. More bureaucrats. Maybe more rules stupid rules governing what we do in our bedrooms (guns in the nightstand qualify ). I think it is a shame that those victims are being turned into poster children for anti-gun posters that were already saved in the files, waiting for the right set of pictures to slap on.
