[QUOTE="Sentenza, post: 1512305, member: 17328"] I don't agree with you. I'm in vehement opposition to that paragraph of your statement. I think it's important for there to be a group of people, a segment of society who will not budge, who will not give in and will not compromise on gun rights. I think there are areas in government where it's important to compromise, but not on this issue. As ridiculous as this may sound to you, I believe there is the real probability that on this issue of gun control if we, those of us who are strongly opposed to any more laws than we already have, give an inch 'they' will demand a mile. Someone needs to hold the line. I believe we have all the laws and all the restrictions we need on the books already, and until we effectively enforce the laws we already have it's senseless, useless and even dangerous to pass more. We're to the point where we're punishing law abiding citizens for the acts of a few criminals while doing nothing effective to curb the acts of a few. More laws is not what we need. What we need is more effective law enforcement. There are always going to be people who want more laws, more gun control. What I want in my legislator is someone who agrees with me, someone who will not compromise on my gun rights. Whether or not you were treated poorly on this board is a side issue, a side issue that can and has become a sideshow. But with respect to gun rights I completely agree with whoever chooses to be the biggest terd today or yesterday or whenever as long as they believe that it's up to us to hold the line. Therein we are partners and cohorts. So, please pass on to your friends in the legislature that there are people out here who want them to stand strong on gun issues and gun rights. And please pass on to them, Republicans and Democrats alike, that when they give up my rights as a gun owner they are giving up my vote in the next election, and not only my vote, but everyone's vote who I have any influence with as well. I think that's the most important message you can take away from this OSA forum. [/QUOTE]
