"Gabrielle Giffords Gun Control Super PAC Raises $6.5 Million"

46. Yes, we WILL always be deeply divided.

My personal positions are:

I am not an advocate of non-violence. I am most certainly not, and never plan on being a pacifist. I like the statement Heinlein had one of his characters make in one his novels.

I am not a pacifist. Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay - and claims a halo for his dishonesty.

- John Joseph Bonforte,"Double Star" - Robert A. Heinlein.

Even if there were no 2nd Amendment at the Federal level, I would support and work for the RKBA at the state level. If my state did not have a RKBA in it's state Constitution, (Texas does), then I would move to a state that did. I believe I have a right to have the means to defend myself and my home with Lethal Force, against those who would seek to harm me, since the police can not be everywhere. I believe the best tool for that is a gun. I believe absolutely in the concept of the Castle Doctrine, without ANY Duty To Retreat from my own home. If a person forces their way into my home, then that person is there to do no good. I do not support the disarmament of the ordinary people in this county because some people do not like guns.

And in case you have sigs blocked in some fashion this is mine:

As long as guns are legal, and I may legally own them, am mentally and physically capable of using them properly and safely, I will do so. I will not be shamed, shunned, embarrassed or made to feel some sort of phony remorse into not owning guns. Not by anyone. Not for reason. If I ever reach the decision to not own guns, it will be solely on my own accord.
