I'm not sure where you got I was against anyone owning a firearm as I certainly support the right to keep and bear arms. Not sure how you painted me with that brush but it is incorrect regardless.
Yes, Flynt should be appreciated for doing morr toward furtherance of the people rights than most, and at great expense to himself, not any taxpayer.
Your comment about the 1st right not being equal to the others and the 2nd in particular I find very interesting indeed. I was of the impression they were all equally important and that was one fo the reasons the founding fathers included them together. I could be wrong however.
Sure I use a gun, he hires guns. My intention was to make people aware of WHY he might not like guns in private hands, he would if anyone, know more about the subject than most having taken a few to the body and since suffered great pain and rehab, again at his cost. That in no way vindicates his position on private ownership of firearms however, nor did I say I agreed with it. It's one thing to understand his mindset and that understanding doesn't mandatorily state I agree with him, just that I understand why he might feel strongly abouyt the subject.
So, no, I don't believe in the "nonsense" that he professes, on the other hand I'm objective enough to understand the thought process behind it. Apparently you are having a problem with that and I have no way of helping you on that issue.
People can be antigun and still not be your sworn enemy, as you suggest/inference. When one closes their mind to the whole picture and focuses only on one point in a mans life they tend to lose objectivity, not that it is necessary to have, but it helps in understanding the other sides views.
I tend to stray from a hardline attitude and attempt to stay objective most of the time. Whether I like him or not, agree with him on issues or not, does not change the fact he furthered our own rights and secured them through the highest court in the US.
I vote republican, never for the bleeding heart liberals. That sound like I'm anti-gun? I didn't think so. You are confusing objective views of ones actions [ the facts ] with the thought process that all who are anti gun are the enemy.
You certainly have the right to feel that way, but then not being objective clouds facts and the real issues.
Larry can be a pig, a a$$, or anything else for all I care. He has helped further our agenda and rights, either inadvertently or for personal gain, and is someone whose personality has been lacking in gov for too long.
