Jerry, I apologize for the smart ass nature of my comment. Happens sometimes and I usually regret it. I am sorry for the characterization, it is obviously off target. As to the substance of the point I was making, I stand by it. You made the point that you see nothing leftist in my politics. On that issue you are incorrect. But the larger point is that the gun issue gets so weighed down in the rhetoric that people make these type of generalizations. The only thing that you could have possibly drawn from the posts here is that when it comes to my right to own weapons, I am firmly in the corner of the maintaining that right. And most of the so called logic on the subject isn't logical at all.

Greg.........you demonstrate my point again. I said clearly that my comment wasn't about my thinking you were talking about me specifically. You made the follwing comment "Its the bubbas, rednecks & conservative politicians who need to be brought into the 20th century, never mind the 21st. That comment is a gratuitous assertion. All one needs to do is show one example of it being wrong to disprove it. I used myself to demonstrate to you that it is an incorrect statement. I then followed up with explaining to you that, within the context of the discussion it doesn't matter if you like me or I like you. Your statement was simply incorrect. As are most generalizations.
