| 163. Try Some Ben Gay On That Strain |
|
Interpreting my comments to claim that I'm convinced you're breaking the law---that's a helluva stretch; must really hurt.
The last time I noticed, you and I were disembodied voices on an internet chat site. I'm in no more of a position to accuse you of personally being a law breaker than you are of me. My comments about the lawless tendencies of the gun rights movement were just that---comments about the movement in general. I stand by those comments, because there's lots of evidence of those tendencies, both here in DU and numerous other net sites and publications. You may not be a law breaker, but the company you're keeping isn't very flattering...
