You missed on a few points however: I am very much in agreement with the right to keep and bear arms. I am not fighting anyone, I am merely sharing information that I believe others will find valuable. There are no "You folks" here. There is only me and I happen to be straight. Also, as a bit of nit-picking, I disagree with your categorization of gun rights as civil rights (basic, yes; civil, no). I consider "civil" rights, especially as codified in the Civil Rights Act, a legal fiction. They are an attempt to place restrictions on people that can, in fact, apply only to their government. Our true rights, in this respect, are limits on the authority government has over us. I believe that no one has the right to create laws that limit our individual choices, however foolish or hate-filled they may be. Well said.

You may not agree with the gun nuts, of which I am one, but you have to admit that we seem to be fighting a common enemy: our rights are being limited by those not authorized to do so. I propose that we consider teaming up, informally, to help each other. My gun rights are not only gun rights. They are civil rights. They are basic human rights. You folks have a logical, legal claim to the same truth. All the best, and live free.

My step-sister is married to her mate (4+years). I support her and am proud that her rights were recognised, though for a short time, by the state of CA. This issue has no relevance in public opinion, as intmated above. It is a right which should not be infringed upon because of someones personal belliefs. I am, however, disconcerted by the lack of response. Thank you for your opinion. May we all be free. I have thoroughly enjoyed this discourse and could not agree more.
