So you're all about open carry, but you'll tuck your tail when it comes to your ISP. Nice to know where you stand. ;)

Not tucking my tail, choosing my battles.

Do you have a 100K job I can have that doesn't require Internet access?? If so, hire me and I'll switch. Either that or cover my bills for me. Until then...

By the way, you better not watch TV, they ban gun ads (unless they are during gun-related shows such as Guns and Ammo, Hanguns, etc, which are on cable TV). You'll NEVER see those on network television.

Better not subscribe to any magazines unless they are gun magazines because you won't see any ads for firearms in Newsweek, Time, Life, Playboy, etc either.

..and then there's the radio, nope. No Ruger commercials on 93X, KS95, KQRS, etc, better not listen to those.

...and the list goes on. You probably patronize a lot of business which provide advertising, but few of which do so for firearms.

Not true. Might not be Ruger commercials (and I don't know about the others) but KQRS runs gun shop and PTC class commercials all the time.

Interesting. I didn't know that. I listened to them for years, then years ago I stopped. I guess it's changed since then.

I never said any of that, but I don't willingly listen to broadcast radio either. Anyone who does probably lacks musical taste. ;)

True about radio. "Call Me Maybe" is a hit?

Sorry about that FJ540. That was my careless editing. I didn't mean to make it look like you said those words. Again, sorry.

It's cool. Just clarifying that it was a statement I didn't make.

There's also a difference between a free to use service (broadcast media), and one you subscribe to (cable, ISP, etc). When you're paying someone for their services, you're voting with your wallet. How many times do we hear people say "I'm not shopping there because they don't want my business" in regards to being a posted business - but then turn around and keep buying from a company who's saying "not only do I not want your guns here, I don't want gun people to influence my customers."

It's 2A discrimination, no two ways about it.

Ruger, Savage, S&W - they all choose which shows they want their commercials played during. It's part of the ad-buy contract. That you don't see one during a fishing show is not because the network has said they won't allow it, it's because the purchaser doesn't want it there.

Now Sarge, I have not seen the NRA do anything other than protect only one of our Rights as a US Citizen. If defending this right from Liberal Politicians is considered "Running This Country" you are seriously confused.

Do you even know why you vote like you do? Is this a choice that you make or are you just adhering to your decades of Liberal Minnesota Indoctrination? You want to own your S&W pistol, but you are more than willing to let the government take away Semi-Automatic Rifles and standard capacity magazines because you believe the Liberals have a solution for the gun violence despite the continued evidence to the contrary.

Maybe some day you will admit you were wrong in your belief. We can only hope.

If NRA and manufacturers are craven, would she back that up by disarming herself and her security goons as she would disarm others? Lead by example perchance? Pfat chance!

Wrong in my belief? Why the hell do you care what I think anyways. And just to correct your assumption, I'm from WI and don't let anyone tell me how to think. Let alone some interest group or you hiding behind a keyboard

I care about what you think because people like yourself who decide to purchase a gun for protection, but believe that the Liberal Agenda has no intention of denying people of their 2 amendment rights and that it is perfectly understandable that we should limit a law abiding citizen's access to Semi-Auto Rifles and Standard Capacity Magazines.

It doesn't matter to you that the Liberal Agenda is wrong and that restricting law abiding citizen's gun rights will never solve the problems that need solving. You just know you were raised a Liberal and all you need is one example that proves you are right in any circumstance so you can walk away from a discussion believing you were right. You use emotion in every decision making process and when threatened with the truth you only need to make up some plausible scenario where the children and the helpless will be the victims to make your point.

If you are true to your signature of "Liberal Gun Owner." All I can say is you would be foolish to believe you would be able to continue being a Gun Owner if your Liberal Politicians didn't have to contend with organizations like the NRA and the majority of "Conservative Gun Owners."

You may see my words as a personal attack, but I have not written anything personal against you. I only point out that your political beliefs are in conflict with your desire to own property that is guaranteed by our Bill of Rights and your Political Party of Choice is in the midst of a direct assault on those rights...yet you stand with them.

Do you not see the conflict in this? Maybe some day you will.
