As we've read in this thread, and as I see in person, gun ownership is not limited to one political ideal or another. I personally do not feel I'm boxed in to one party or direction, I'm liberal on some things, conservative on others.
It seems it's only our politicians who feel they have to suck up to whoever is providing them money at the time and take a hard, immovable line, much to the detriment of any working relationship with the other side. They've managed to bring our gov't practically to a standstill.
If people on a traditionally anti gun side of the political spectrum wish to invest in guns and training, I'm all for it. Their leaders can learn a lot from them. Having lived and worked almost all of my life in NYC and socialized at times with rabid liberals, folks who would prefer to be killed rather than touch a weapon, I for one am glad to see people willing to take it upon themselves to provide for their own protection, whatever the threat.
