46. As An Anti-Anti-Gun Liberal
I suspect anything I would say against guns, in the gun-lovers-only forum, would get generate insults.
Frankly, I posted this when it was on the front page and didn't realize until later, it was the gun forum. Otherwise I would have stayed clear of this
forum.

I was in Kyoto recently - seven million people live in Kyoto - felt safer in Japan than in my own country for one reason.
They aren't packing AK47's, or hand guns. The only magazines they sell are the kind you read.

just sayin....
