I will not rehash all that has gone before on this thread but I have been reading it all. I understand the fears, and the passion, behind these postings but, I for one, still believe that this is a nation of laws, of checks and balances, of ugly and visceral debate, and of loyal, honorable citizens who can (and must) disagree and yet live together in peace. We are better than this and the glorious experiment that is this nation has survived such storms before, and will again, lest our generation be the one that loses the "last, best hope of earth." And so, +1 to KentuckyBuddha, I concur.All our hearts hurt for these children and we want nothing from anybody except to be left alone and the Govt will not do that so yes we are pissed. Do you remember my words to you on your post about thoughts while hunting on Nov 10th after the election? "Within 3 hours of re-electiin President Obama contacted the UN and gave his full support for the UN weapons ban. A couple of days lateSen Frankenstein was already talking about a re-instatement of the weapons ban back then." Forgive me but I hate to tell you I told you so, look back at the post and tell me im wrong.
