How do you define "liberal"?Y'know, I'm a liberal. And, I'm all for 2nd Amendment rights. I'm all for a lot of other rights, too. The right not to be lumped together with other people with whom I disagree and with whom I will never associate!
Most liberals dislike anything firearm. That does not mean it's a liberal thing. It's an individual thing, imho.
To say that ALL liberals dislike firearms is wrong.:nono:
Unless you absolutely abhor everyone liberal, which means you hate me (I hope not, but it's okay if you do) can we, henceforth, call anyone who dislikes firearms, "Anti's" rather than "Liberals?"
It would show tolerance and compassion, education and understanding.:yes4:

"Diversity and equality" is something that few people are realistically going to publicly oppose. Most people will at least pay it lip service, even if they privately roll their eyes at it. Personally, I believe that most characteristics that evoke diversity are social constructions that have no basis in reality, so it's a somewhat moot point.How do you define Liberal?
If you mean that I enjoy diversity and equality, then I'm a liberal.
There doesn't seem to be a "bright-line rule" for who's a liberal/conservative/libertarian/etc. On many issues, people have mistakenly drawn political polarities where none should really exist. Food, clothing and vehicles, for example, really have nothing to do with politics, and yet people somehow attach their own ideas to these items. I'm not a vegetarian, but people at work noticed that I eat a lot of tofu and similar types of things, and automatically assumed I was a fellow Democrat (I eat that way selfishly, for my own well-being - not to help out any livestock animals). They were a bit shocked when I took off a week to attend the Republican Convention as a delegate. :meeting: Apparently they never took a good look at the back of my car. Anyway, the real philosophical differences between conservatives and liberals are far more important than our external lifestyles, and it's the political and ontological ideas that we should pay more attention to.But, I don't want to get into an argument about rights and politics. I'm just tired of being lumped into a group that people love to hate because I'm a liberal. yet, I'm not anti guns, nor am I anti-2A. I think most people on here hate anti-2A people but instead they say that hate or dislike or disagree with liberals. I'm just trying to distinguish the difference and provide some education. No offense intended, and I'm not looking for any disagreements or arguments.

No - just that there's not many people who will disagree with you on something that's fairly non-controversial. A lack of contrast means that diversity and equality tend to lose their meaning in most contexts these days. No one under the age of 70 who wants to retain any shred of credibility in society is going to publicly say that we need to reinstate Jim Crow laws or bring back segregation.So, does that mean that you think I was rolling my eyes :girl_wacko: and paying it lip service?
Actually as a Christian I should not abhor anyone. Scripture teaches us to hate sin but not an individual. Unfortunately being the imperfect humans we are we sometimes have a hard time separating the two. It is o.k. to hate actions or even beliefs but we should show love one to another. I will have to admit that I stll have a long way to go in my Christian walk before I am there. I am just glad that God loved me enough to pour out his grace on me rather than giving me what I deserve.
Someone who is hell bent on destroying the values that made America great in the first place. I believe that we all have rights and should abide by the laws of our nation. It pains me to see a bunch of people whine when the law does not go their way. Case in point the demonstartions in CA. The people clearly spoke for what they wanted and the others are whining.
If there is evidence that a law is being disregarded as in the Obama Birth Certificate Scandal, then the law needs to be upheld. If we don't like the law, put it before congress and the senate and change it the right way.
Screaming and yelling about unfair doesn't cut it. Changing the rules because they don't suite you doesn't cut it.
You folks who claim to be liberals with guns are not so liberal. You have morals and a conscience or you would not be who you are and what you are; A grown adult exercising a God Given Right to self defense inside the rule of law.
Independant yes, liberal not really.
It just seems to not matter what a politicians personal stance is on critical issues when they go ahead and vote along party lines. I'm sure there are some pro-gun liberal politicians, but I doubt many of them will vote against the assault weapon ban or any other anti-gun legislation.
It all comes down to a person's priorities. I believe the 2nd Amendment is the most important one and that you can judge a politicians character on their support or opposition to it. I believe in the values of our Forefathers who created this country. I believe that people who don't embrace the values of our Forefathers should find another place to live.
I am conservative. I'm a Christian. I'm also pro life, pro America and believe in smaller government.
I wouldn't hesitate to vote for a Democrat that shares these views if I believed they had the courage to vote the way they feel.
