Man, it seems Stan really rubs many of you guys the wrong way. I can see his condescending tone; but most of the time, it amuses me.
Here's the dirty little secret: He's mostly right. Far more often than wrong. Factually, I cannot find fault. Feelings, opinion and anecdotal stories are irrelevant.
He reminds me of a grumpy old law professor challenging his students to think. Really think. Stop arguing long enough to think and realize that his guidance is actually correct.
He may have some poor bedside manor, but he's damned well educated in the forum of firearms and firearm ownership. I've been looking for a source of compiled writings, so far mostly archived articles and overpriced re-printings of magazines of yesteryear.
Folks are going to start saying I'm on Stan's side. Well, if being on the side of facts makes someone uncomfortable... then -
I've posted when I thought he was wrong, and argued logic and reason against him. Only to find out he was right, more than once. I've eaten my crow in the corner, alone and embarrassed. Thanks, for that Stan...
Nuggin, you've missed some good stuff. Montana, there is no such thing as an unalienable right if it has restrictions placed on it. They cannot co-exist. It either is unalienable, or it isn't. There is no such thing as "Common sense gun control" and a true unalienable right to bear arms. Grizzly, Black, Brown, Polar, or otherwise...

Nothing kills the incentive of men faster than a healthy sense of entitlement. Nothing kills entitlement faster than a healthy sense of achievement.
