Here is the text-

We at GunAuction.com are horrified by the events that transpired in Newtown, CT on Friday, and wish to express our sympathies to the families of all those that have been affected. We know that nothing we can say will ease your pain in this trying time, but you are in our thoughts and prayers, and we dearly hope that you will come to find some comfort.
That being said, there are many people, who in a very predictable fashion, are trying to use this tragedy to further their political agenda of restricting our 2nd Amendment rights. We all knew that with the re-election of Barack Obama, there would be the risk of a President unrestrained by the prospect of another campaign, who would reveal his true intentions of limiting freedom. We now see the President working with Sen. Feinstein, to revive her long discredited and discarded Assault Weapons Ban, in an attempt to harness the emotions of the moment for political gain.
We at GunAuction.com would like to publicly declare that we fully understand the core purpose of the 2nd Amendment - to maintain the balance of power that exists between the government and the governed, and that we will never compromise our standards regarding the 2nd Amendment, that it is our 1st Amendment duty to provide this marketplace to the American public.
We never wavered. We are FULLY open for business. Thanks for your loyalty and support.

Manny DelaCruz

Listen, I was wrong. No one could foresee such a horrible tragedy, but I should have figured that the odds were something would happen that would be used to attack our rights. I made the best supposition I could given the fact that many, many Democrats are anti-gun control. I am holding out a slight hope that they will have the moral courage to stand behind their convictions.

I was wrong. I made a mistake. I have admitted that. What I will not tolerate is a ton of wasted energy and idoicy berating me. If I am big enough to admit I was wrong publically, than you should either accept that or go away. Since I own this site, I have the right to say that.

Any other questions?

I guess I am not sure what you were wrong about. You were a Democrat that has now become a Republican (at least by voter registration). Did you believe the Democrat's wouldnt seek to limit the sales and try and ban guns?

You know why it's often so hard for people to admit they were wrong about something? Because other people have a habit of being a$$holes about it when we do.

JB we need everyone we have to stand together. I think Kopbet was being facetious.

This isn't the time for it. This is the time to close ranks and come together as a community. Because that is what we are... a community. We may fight and argue and make each other angry, but we are all united in our love of our country and our belief in our rights as Americans.

We are a community. Look how we try to help one another. We ask each other to pray for one another and our families. We ask each other for help from everything to finding jobs to advice on home and cars to legal and medical advice and we RESPOND to those requests. We hold fund raisers and giveaways to help out our members and we all do this with open hearts and no expectation of any type of return.

We ARE a community. We are DIFFERENT from the world out there. We believe in something bigger than ourslves. Maybe not all in the same way, but with the same passion and the same love of country.

We MUST stand together, irrespective of our past differences.
