[QUOTE="jkupper, post: 756546, member: 61637"] Good job Flip. I hope he will listen, but it is highly unlikely. We still need to continue to fight back. I had an interesting conversation with a very good high school friend on facebook last night. I posted a link supporting LB 451, the Nebraska bill to oppose any federal anti-gun legislation which is similar to what has been proposed for many states already. the conversation went as follows: Kent: You Republicans are all the same. How much money did the NRA give you?? Me: Hey Kent. If Feinstein's bill gets passed my kids can no longer inherit the AR rifles that should eventually become theirs, the government just takes them when I pass away. I'm not cool with that at all. You have known me for a long time, you know how I love to hunt and shoot, and you know that I am knowledgeable and safe with guns. This whole "assault rifle ban isn't right, and I and other will fight it. I hate the shootings, but taking guns from legit people isn't the answer. It just regulates the wrong people. Talk to you later brother. Kent: I didn't want to fight. It was kinda a rude statement so sorry on that. Let's agree to disagree. I know YOU are safe with firearms but there must be something done. Me: That's okay Kent. I'm okay with agreeing to disagree, just remember how many people you grew up with that own these guns, and what they use them for safely, that's all I ask. Kent: Will do. The Prez has done what he wanted to do. He has made people believe that anyone who opposes the gun legislation is an extremist and is not using "common Sense". They are not even thinking about how they know us, grew up with us, are friends or family to us, and know damned well that we have common sense when it comes to guns. That SOB has driven a wedge between himself and his supporters, and those like us over and over again, but this time people are absolutely blind to what he is doing. The above conversation was with a guy that I used to hang out with on a nightly basis, and he couldn't remember what I actually stood for until I spelled it out for him. I feel very sorry for the people who are his zombies and buy into his every word. I'm sick of senators and congressmen/women trying to make me feel like an idiot by using the "common sense" descriptor. I feel like I am going to fricking implode the next time I read or hear of someone saying, "these guns have no sporting purpose". They are talking out of their asses, are completely ignorant on the subject, and people are soaking it up like sponges. It is a sad, sad, abysmal state that this country is in right now. I'll get off of the soapbox now. I just had to vent because I am so ****ed off!!! Joe [/QUOTE]
