I couldn't agree more. Many on this board, and others like it, feel the same way as us, but don't want to get insulted by others who are afraid of any point of view different from their own, and so don't post. Sad that people have to resort to insulting one another on a forum designed for reasonable discussion. Thread was good for a while.

The really unfortunate part is that moderate people, who don't personally own guns, but who are in favour of gun rights for responsible people, get scared by this type of rhetoric, and lump us all in the same boat. In the end, this makes them more willing to accept the views of the minority who want to ban guns.
