42. Pro-gun liberal here, as well.
I don't own a gun, but, growing up in the South has made me aware of the need to be moderate on gun-control. I subscribe to the Wesley Clark attitude of gun control: rifles and personal protection pistols and weaponry should be available to anyone who qualifies in our society, but if you REALLY, REALLY have to play with an automatic weapon, then join the service - they have plenty. :)

I'm also the fiance of a Jewish man, but I have to say that I'm opposed to the way in which Israel treats the Palestinians (and so is the fiance). Of course, I don't like the Palestinians suicide bombing people, either - but just because one uses tanks and state-sanctioned funding and the other builds bombs in the basement, doesn't make one more right than the other. Please know that some of us don't hate Israel, we just hate its leadership in much the same way as we don't hate America, we just think Bush sucks.

Welcome, by the way.
