Hehe, back at ya.

Appreciate your poise and position. I too am rather long in the tooth and am well beyond caring much for MY safety in particular. My fear is for our nation.

Yes, I have a healthy respect for fear but what is most important is that I do what is right despite that fear.

It seems at times that the one screaming the loudest in my ear is the little lady. Now, don’t cause a scene. Just ignore it. Calm down and don’t be so radical.

And like many men of today, I frequently tuck, duck and opt not “die” on that hill and sue for peace. Just as with much of what the government demands of us, our mates can be demanding as well. And she could not care less about my constitutional rights. She insists I’m there to keep her happy, happy, happy.

Now shut up and eat or I’ll give it to the dog, she says. Oh, woe is me, as I try to lighten things up a little.

Mine is much the same. She 'tsk tsks' and suggests I dial it back a notch and get back to cooking dinner when that dark cloud crosses my face.

The Gun Culture is changing. Liberals have succeeded in getting more people to buy guns for the express purpose of defending themselves against the government, looters, and takers.

Amen to that! You are exactly right.

The Dem/libs have been engaging in a steady push to infringe on our right to keep and bear arms for decades. And this is how it has been working out for them in the last two decades...

And in the last two months... (Dec. 2012 and Jan. 2013)

If the lefties keep pushing gun control in another two decades one out of two Americans may be gun owners instead of one out of three.

MOLON LAVE! WE'LL BUY MORE. ;-)

Is there still a single American today who does not believe the socialist are coming for America’s firearms and is their single most important goal of confiscation through a federal registry data base and restriction.
