More silly game-playing by a poster who is an expert at it.
"I get the feeling that you're pissed off"
LOL - I don't know whether this is projection or what, but if you think I'm "pissed off" you haven't been paying attention. I am delighted: my presidential candidate won the election. The pro-NRA, right-wing candidate - the one that NRA ad is begging people to vote for - lost. "RKBA" went down in the Senate, too, and is hanging on by a thread in the House.
And it is the preview of what's to come: as the demographics of this country continue to shift, the pro-NRA, right-wing party, the Republican party, is going to either come around to progressive positions and liberal policies or it is going to go the way of the Whigs. And with that transition, getting closer every election, is going to come more politicians in elected office committed to sensible gun control.
So, "pissed off"? Nope: I'm tickled to tears. Sensible gun control is coming to the United States, sooner or later. And when it does, folks who like to strut around town with a pistol perched in their pants are either going to have to join the Army, or pass the MMPI and apply for a job at their local police department. Canadian-style gun control is eventually coming to America, my friend, and probably in our lifetimes: it is as inevitable as the day is long. And folks who don't like it are just going to have to get over it.
