To those calling me ignorant for pinning the blame for gun-grabbing on liberals, I am hard pressed to find a conservative who has pushed for more gun legislation that restricts law-abiding gun owners.
Not a conservative, in my eyes anyway...good leader and did the best possible with what he had to work with but he had a whole lot of views I (and many conservatives) strongly disagree with.
That said, he'd probably have been a better choice than the one we're left with...

I for one never called you ignorant. I said it was arrogant to believe that only conservatives care about being American.
I don't care how many guns you have, as long as you are a responsible gun owner.
Maybe i'm reading the wrong newspapers or seeing false news reports about the high gun crime in the USA. Putting that to one side. Please could you explain why a young child should be taught to shoot animals. It's not for food or survival. I thought the days of Grizzly Adams had gone. Is it a "Macho" thing?
Yes letting children hunt is terrible, instead I'd suggest taking those kids to the zoo and watching the snakes swallow live rats...they actually squirm in the snakes belly! Then take them home and let them watch the kitty torture a mouse outside, and then refuse to eat it once it dies a slow death. Nice kitty! Then explain to them how killing animals with guns is terrible, even if you process the meat and eat it. But do explain how it is OK-Dokay to eat at any restaurant in the USA, all which use food processed from the electrical execution of fish, .22 gunshot to the head of every beef cow (use to be a ball pen hammer a few years ago...), and the beheading of chickens through automated machinery....that, my friend, is much more human than little Tommy shooting an animal with a gun instead...
Sure glad the world is black and white...and there are no shades of grey. Your bumper sticker mentality is naive...
Yeah, soon they will become criminals for hunting at a young age.

Woah, you lost me dude.
Don't make this into a cultural conservative vs cultural liberal argument. This is exactly the type of lazy thinking that got us here in the first place.
No lazy thinking, hotdog. Common sense. But I understand why common sense appears lazy to you. The topic is "Should young children be taught how to shoot animals?" and since the thread took the curve into girls and boys, I believe my contribution addresses the core issue. Further questions?
