Folks, I want to give y'all some additional perspective - I am a personal friend of PeterD. He is from Australia, his wife is from England. He has had an "up close and personal" opportunity to watch what happens when common sense is removed from the legislative process - IN TWO DIFFERENT COUNTRIES - at different points in time. He is not an alarmist but rather "a watchman on the wall" trying desperately to help the rest of us see what is coming and to help prepare us for as many argumentive points as possible!
Guys - if we can't quit fighting among ourselves, how in God's great earth are we going to show the rest of the world enough solidarity and common sense to show them that we really do know what we are doing and that we really aren't a threat to them but rather we ( the collective 2nd Amendment "brotherhood" ) are what is keeping them safe.
You don;t have to agree with him but, at the very least, listen to what he has to say and pay heed - he has been there and done that and has seen the cost!

I take no issue with PeterD's posts. The Western World is an anomaly. We can lose it if we are not vigilant. His posts point this out.

I am not at all certain that even the best-reasoned and most erudite of arguments can motivate the disinterested, the ignorant, the lazy, the weak-minded or the cowardly to run to the defense of the right to bear arms. No matter what we say, the sheep rely on Uncle Sugar to keep them safe. From us. Of course, that’s a part of the grabbers’ plans and they've been working on the infantilization of this society for quite a while now, so it should surprise no one...

I don't see us as fighting amongst ourselves at all. Occasionally, someone from the soy latte crowd wanders in to have a go at disruption, but that's what they do. Those guys aren't "us".
