We also have some other reasons in that anonymous commenters are hard to tell apart.Laci The Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07138644349857941157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696618898580620397.post-76138937573714905832011-10-30T23:18:47.666-07:002011-10-30T23:18:47.666-07:00Mike, I agree that most gun owners are not so foul...Mike, I agree that most gun owners are not so foul. Most are honest, normal people who wouldn't think of being so moronic. It's sad, though, that so many extremists are representing them online. Moderate gun owners need to represent or they will lose out.Baldr Odinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11818934498607763309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696618898580620397.post-21294426000635835762011-10-30T15:01:34.881-07:002011-10-30T15:01:34.881-07:00I enjoyed reading that assortment of comments.

I've had plenty myself. <br /><br />I don't think those guys are representative of the majority of gun owners, but they're certainly not a tiny minority either. Many gun owners are bullies who don't have the intellectual wherewithal to express their ideas any better than that.<br /><br />What I do think is a very rare type is the one who is a genuine danger. Most of the foul-mouth guys are all talk.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696618898580620397.post-17622952766511505402011-10-30T14:10:05.659-07:002011-10-30T14:10:05.659-07:00I appreciate that, Greg.I appreciate that, Greg.Baldr Odinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11818934498607763309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696618898580620397.post-41111752414701296092011-10-30T13:28:29.748-07:002011-10-30T13:28:29.748-07:00I can't speak for all gun owners, but I do kno...I can't speak for all gun owners, but I do know that the ones I have met have been, on the whole, friendly and reasonable. In any group, there are bad people, but surely you can recognize that demonizing every gun owner by the acts of a few is no better than any other stereotyping of any group? The Internet brings out many unfortunate tendencies, but my answer is the same as others have made: The solution to bad speech is more speech. You keep defending your position.<br /><br />With that in mind, both you and japete are welcome to comment on my weblog. There are many articles on a variety of topics, including firearms.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696618898580620397.post-2021642222423077892011-10-29T19:32:46.768-07:002011-10-29T19:32:46.768-07:00Good for you.

And even about my now dead sister who was shot to death. Who are these people? Do they have families? Do they have jobs? How old are they? Do they have daughters? Are they ashamed? Even worse- theses folks carry guns. Scary. <br /><br />And these are the same folks who intimidate our elected leaders. They also threaten them. If they can't get what they want based on the merits of their case, they bully and intimidate. That's all they've got. Gun control bloggers are challenging their beliefs and they don't like us. Do we get on their blogs and act like teen- aged bullies? Sad. Stay strong. We are making our words known to many who agree with us. Be safe.japetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01100586242385440419noreply@blogger.com
