Well said.
I found this place about 5 years ago and even then people were saying "It isn't what it used to be". Frankly,
I like OSA and always have, for all its perceived faults.
Somehow I manage to avoid the stuff in which I do not wish to participate and join the stuff I do like.
Most people over the last 5 years have been friendly and personable and a few are a**hats which is about like anywhere else. I understand that folks also disagree about what "letting your hair down" means - to some it means open and free but respectful discussion but to other it means cussing every other word, (internet) screaming epithets and challenging to (internet) fist-fights so there will always be some...uh...tension.
On balance though I like it and will keep frequenting where we can mostly talk/trade guns but also delve into other topics if we wish. I also go to some other forums none of which are quite like OSA.
The only thing that ever bothered me about this forum or, another one of happy memory, is/was the childish tendency to act like kids on a playground by saying that one cannot "go there and come here too".

If you treasure your right to self defense and you ignore the politics associated with them you are a coward.
Time to take a deep breath and leave this thread to you guys.
I was born with the "right" to self-defense. Politics be damned.
Geez....we can't all be Alphas.
OSA will be what we as members make it be. I like coming here, I really enjoy reading gun and gear reviews from real people, not some gun magazine writer type person who says everything is great.

More gun talk and less trash talking would be nice.
Aquinas would be proud.
