Everybody needs to take a deep breath.
It occurs to me that there is way too much infighting on these boards. I know I'm guilty of being hot-headed and quick on the (figurative) trigger. The enemy is "out there", not in here, if you're a believer in 2A RKBA.
When talking religion and politics, it's very easy for things to get out of hand. It's known that I'm a conservative Christiian and don't buy the homosexual agenda, for example. However, I have a couple homosexual clients, who have grown to be friends and we argue quite a bit. We recently decided that the "cultural issues" now need to be set aside in light of the cliff that this country and people are tottering on. We can resume the culture wars when we win this country back. As we've seen, people of different "persuasion" do support the natural right to self-defense and the throwing off of a tyrannical gov't.
Another thing. You don't know what someone's situation is, just through communicating on these forums. Many of us are carrying some heavy emotional and physical loads, which no one knows about here. I have personally been guilty recently of taking the fight to someone, who I subsequently found was in great grief. My head hangs in shame for this.
Look for the good. And relax a bit.
My .02 cents, FWIW.
