Let's call it 'Part 1' (for the sake of brevity ;)):

I do not include you in the people here I consider to be purely "anti-gun; and I'm going to decline to name the people I do feel are purely anti-gun. My opinions about that are subjective, and I don't want to publicly label anyone, because I wouldn't much like that myself. I also think naming names like that is a potential violation of the "calling out" rule of this board. It doesn't really matter who I have in mind as fitting the "anti-gun" description. You might simply trust that I'm not lying when I say that I do have certain individuals in mind, and in that sense I am comparing myself to real people with demonstrated real positions, and not strawmen. I think I have been specific enough, in various posts, about the nature of my thinking on the gun issue, for you to reliably compare me, on your own, if you want, with the opinions and thoughts of other posters here.

"Part 2': clearly we see this issue differently; perhaps because you are not saddled with a sociopathic smirking criminal for a national leader, as I am. We'll have to agree to disagree here.
