participant in DU's Gun Control & RKBA (Group).

The regulars include a devils brew from both pro and anti RKBA.

You will find a few ass holes who only post insults and believe in ad hominem attacks.

Put them on Ignore when you read their first post and I believe you'll find the remainder to be a highly educated, articulate group that are extremely well informed about RKBA.

Please visit for a while and If I'm wrong, please send me a PM
