What the hell are you apologizing to that bollocks for?
I noticed that he didn't qualify any of his statements, or come back and perhaps admit that he might have been a little general in HIS comments!
Don't let your newness to the forum (if such is the case) make you any less forthright in saying what you feel.
I don't like the idea of guns - so I couldn't agree with everything you said in the afore-mentioned thread.
That wouldn't lead me to attack you the way he did.

Please notice the tendency of your average right-winger to be the one with the most vitriol. The leftists tend to be the more reasoning bunch.

You are a gentleman.
You apologized gracefully for something you had absolutely no need to apologize for.
