there's my dilemma, same one I had with rebar I am happy to have this discussion in the public forum but I don't want to be rude and skew that thread so offtopic that it gets closed
freedom of speech is wonderful but I don't want to step on toes on a privately owned forum. I've learned many things about firearms from this forum (including from you! ), the expreriences y'all share have taught me more about firearm safety than I the NRA classes
also, I understand that we're from different times and in many ways somewhat different cultures so I'm not expecting to change your mind. but it is fun to discuss issues that I can see we're both passionate about. I think I'll ask a staff member if I can continue this debate in that thread without getting it locked
the Archie Bunker reference was in jest, by the way we may disagree but I do have a modicum of respect for you from what I've read in the other subforums that deal strictly with guns

MY FULL REPLY
An open forum gives others a chance to see the differences in us all, I am unafraid to show people how I think and it makes no difference if people dissagree. People are like that, they don't agree because we live with the "I am right" in there life.
The USA has competition called politics of "I am right" and the political parties battle it out. Who is right? Well first we have to know who we are and not deny it to others. If you read back at our post you will see that I said liberals like to tag you with a racist,bigot, homophobe tag to marginalize what you say.
You sent me a PM with all that in it. So you live up to what I say liberals are. I don't like that behavior in private or public. Truth in conversation is paramount to all of us. If you don't want to use the public forum then you avoid having to speak the truth.
There is no concern about skewing the thread as we are just showing the differences of the way you think and I think. You represent a liberal education and thinking and I don't, it is that simple and people should see those differences in a country with free speech. People need to see how those who take away our guns think, emotion or logic.
You made several comments that deserve reply in those PMs and I hate to see you go to all the typing and others not read it It isn't about you and me and over the net nothing is personal to me. I am a man who never says anything here I wouldn't say to your face So open forum if you want to continue.
Or a new thread on the way dems an conservatives see guns and our lives in discussion.

Some people leave out half the story so I decided since Redworm printed PMs in a public forum that I would let you read all of it unedited and let you make up your own minds.
