(794 posts)first of all- thank you for your service to our country; all Americans owe our veterans a great debt that can only be repaid through continued struggle to make America a more perfect union.
Your discription of your fire-arm ownership and usage sounds like a responsible grown-up that is aware of the dangers of irresponsible gun ownership. Some may call you those names for simply owning a fire-arm, but I believe that they are in the minority. Gundamentalists represent a serious danger to the 2nd amendment and America. The ideology of the teabagger gun nut is more dangerous than their arsenals of murder. The dangers of allowing the NRA and teabaggers to write our gun ownership laws reminds me of hiring a fox to guard the Hen house. Average American gun owners represent no threat to our country- rabid right wing racist gun nuts are the enemy of America and our children.
