My heart goes out to you and your family. May the gentle Jesus give you comfort.

Please have respect for those who are not Republicans and who differ in opinion from you.

Labeling democrats as those who want to take away our guns is silly .

Good natured kidding is one thing I get at my gun clubs, but my fellow gun lovers are polite,in their comments.

I took one for the team and my battle scars are my credentials .

Mister Cheney and his lies got too many of our kids killed and wounded.

Jesus threw the money lenders out of the temple and the war profiteers are worse than any usurers.

May you and your family be comforted in the terrible grief of losing a child.

Sincerely,
Al

Michael,
What are you talking about ?
I'm not aware of any restrictions about the number of guns that I own.

The NRA has nothing to do with my ability to have as many as I can afford.

Keep in mind, before you attack me, that I am a target shooting enthusiast and not an antigun person.

Dry your tears and enjoy safe shooting. It is a handful but vocal group like Mayor Bumbleberg that will run in circles, scream and shout about our hobby.

My respect and regards

Hey there SB. It's good to hear a calm and considered opinion.
I, too, have a small arsenal...multiple handguns, plus several rifles and shotguns.
I'm annoyed at the hysteria about the men with blue helmets in black helicopters coming to pry the guns from my hands.

The political right and the NRA want us to be in fear of confiscation.

Saddest is how my NRA has evolved from being an educational entity to being an echo of Rush Limbaugh.

I'm eighty and became a junior member when I bought my first rifle at eleven years old. I belong to three guns clubs shoot, at least once per week and reload all my ammo, except for .22LR.

I'm certain that I'm going to get coals of fire heaped on my bald head by some T party fanatics and true believers Bring it on. I'm a former Army officer and love my country as much as the draft-dodging guy that should be dead or in jail...his words...not mine

I have two of those magnificent Siamese plus a Snowshoe.

Have your rascals kept Dobie intimidated ?

Too bad that you had to include that T party asshole comment.

I'm a wounded warrior. Cheney got two of my fellow fighters killed by lying to us about the mushroom clouds that were going to be caused my Saadam.

Big shot...did you serve ? Have your missed a meal or heard a shot fired in anger ?

I took one for the nation I love and save your idiot comments for your right-wing draft dodgers.

Our first dog was a Saint. He was among the most gentle of all furry critters.

When approaching our crawling baby girl, he would get down on his tummy to care for her. Being covered with dog spit did not seem to bother her.

Now...talk about the descent of a man. Our most recent pooch is a Yorkie.

Keep up your, blessed, work of finding new homes for the orphans.

Never buy a pet.....always adopt.

SIMON. SNOWSHOE CAT

See..you scumbag...this had been a civil dialog.
Calling those who disagree with you ..whatever is attacking the person, not the issue...
So go masturbate or whatever entertains you.
I'm outa here.....
Goodbye mother fucker.

Nooooo problem. If you love cats then I love you.

I was talking to Jesus, the other day. He told me how to destroy an enemy.

"Al", the good shepherd said to me, as he put his arm around my shoulder; "make him a friend and love him as you love me".

Be well, my friend.

Simon, the Snowshoe cat

I beg your pardon. What are you talking about.
T party ?
I am the antithesis of a right-winger.

I'm a kind person, an animal lover. I voted for my President twice.

Guns are a hobby. I reload all of my ammo...that's green, isn't it ?

You are, most likely, a decent person and a liberal.

If I have offended you, please accept my sincere apology.

Hey guys,
I'm delighted to see that this thread has not become a pissing contest.

I'm an old combat soldier, a liberal democrat and the owner of many guns.

We who have carried automatic weapons tape two magazines together, for a fast change.
The ten shot limit is silly. I can drop the empty and replace it in a fraction of a second.
Criminals and nut jobs will still commit their horrors and responsible gun folks will act responsibly.

Dude, you need a BMW or a Benz. Your '97 F-150 is not a chick magnet.

Y not ?

Thanks and who is that you are embracing ?

I have not had that problem. Perhaps my boyish good looks keep them at bay.
