Did you see the responses? A lot of liberals and/or anti-gun types were insulted, even though there was nothing insulting about the video or my post. IMO, that says a heck of a lot about those people.

And what facts was I supposed to post? It's a video of first time shooters. Should I have written that they were first time shooters? Oh, wait, it's in the title. Should I have written that they're liberal? Oh, wait, it's in the title. What facts should I have presented, remoddahouse?

I think you made a poor choice in the case you selected to illustrate your point.

Liberals Shoot Guns For The 1st Time - YouTube

I think it's a good thing to introduce new folks to shooting. I've had the pleasure of giving a number of folks their first firearms experience.

I don't think most people are upset about gun ranges and target shooting in controlled environments.

I'm a Liberal and when in the Navy was rated expert on the 1911 0.45 pistol. I don't have a functioning gun today because there is no need for such a tool in the modern urban home. If I lived out in the country, I'd almost certainly have a couple of guns but doubt I would find a need for a pistol.

People involved in home invasions might disagree with you.

That's backassward reasoning. It's the gun grabbers who are obsessed with our right to own weapons, and especially carbines with a pretty dress on.

If they left us alone with our right to own weapons, we'd never say a thing about their right to choose not to.

You'll find this poster rarely contemplates any opinion, other than his own. He even got upset when a positive post in agreement was made. It has to be a deeper problem, PSD/PTSD maybe.

And by the way, no intelligent person will change their opinion on gun accessibility by criminals and deranged people just because they shot a gun at a target range. So that renders this entire thing a sideshow.

No one cares about your guns. Simply put, you want to feel as if you're some part of a group that is being obsessed over by the government. You need it to feed your paranoia..and your ego.

If you didn't have guns to accuse someone of wanting to take, you'd invent some other conspiracy about some other object you own...like your Foreman Grill or your Stair Climber.
