I like this site. For almost any question you can have about guns, shooting, or outdoors in general, this is where you get the answers. Mostly I READ this site for information. As far as the politics, my views just do not jive with most people on the site. That does not distress me, though it seems to be a hard thing for some to get their head around. I just think the biggest threat to our country is corporate greed, rather than a stronger government. Most of the criticisms I hear about the inefficiencies in government could be remedied by making it a little stronger. I do have a problem with Obama--- he's not liberal enough nor is he strong enough for me. He IS pretty sharp about manipulating his opponents into positions where they'll take the flack when things go wrong, though--- not from the hard core rightys, but from the general population.
I support this SOCIETY. Not the far right, not the far left, the whole thing. If that makes y'all call me a "socialist" then I'm proud of it. I do own some two dozen guns; I like to shoot. For me, that's not a conflict. I also know that there are people who should not be allowed near a gun. It would be very simple to require all guns sold to be equipped with programable palm print readers, or have an electronic key activator, so they simply will not work except for the owner. I'm surprised that the industry has not applied some sort of technology to firearms yet. Until that day comes, we will continue to have incidents like the school shooting or the theatre shooting. And, like it or not, gunowners should be demanding such technology, because, not doing so pretty well ensures that eventually they will lose at least some of those gun rights. Unless WE fix it, THEY will fix it, and WE won't like THEIR fix.
