Ditto, Kat.

I got burned out as much by the constant unwanted mail from the NRA as from the silly blather ardent antigunners rant with.

I never knew that growing up in a fairly normal Wisconsin family where guns were typically accepted as part of our rural life was a political position.

Think; "tools". They have a purpose and when used out of that purpose they are used wrongly. It ain't rocket science. Carrying a loaded, accessible gun in a motor vehicle is both dumb and against the law. Doing anything about another motorist except to drive courteously and defensively in their presence is both dumb and against the law.

I used controlled substances once upon a time. One of my kids got hooked on speed. connection? Nope, because I stopped using or holding or being ANYWHERE near dope when we learned of her coming birth. She never even HEARD of my past use. She still did drugs. My point is: I doubt that kids accept what their parents promote. A kid that LISTENS to their folks? Not bloody likely, certainly not in MY experience. 99% huh? We live in similar environments, Bobert, that SURE don't sound like the kids around here.
