What I am about to write is intended to stimulate a decent, on topic, mannerly discussion of the topic. If you cannot or will not discuss it that way, please do not.
This is the HIGH ROAD isn't it???????? Yet I see an awful lot of posts advocating drug usage (at least through implication), killing cops, hating cops, taking the word of reporters or relatives of someone who has been wounded in shootout with police over the word of the police as if gospel. You probably would not take the word of those same people as anything but trash if you knew it was a CCW guy involved in a shooting, so why take the word of these people before you know all the facts, heck before you know even a handful of the facts that would tend to lend support one way or the other? For instance there was a thread on the 93 year old who shot a few cops then was killed by cops herself earlier today, it was a disgrace. I guess that is why it was closed down, but I have to wonder, just what type of folks are being attracted to this site with jump to conclusion, hate cops, druggies are right, types of attitudes.
What is up with all of that? Since when has this become an 'Us Against Them' thing, when them is just law enforcement. Has this site become a haven for miscreants, law breakers, illegal drug users, and those who want to support the scum of the earth over those who would make our country a better palce to live (and by this I mean anyone who truly wants to make it better in a moiral and right way)? Or am I missing something here; is it just a group of kids on here, or those who act like kids, who want to mouth off on every topic as part of the macho, bad mouthing, hate mongering in crowd? What kind of attitude is it that folks on these forums want to portray to the rest of America as gun owners?
I thought this place was a forum in which the users agreed to keep things on The High Road, or in other words on a moral standing above the vile, bad mouthing type of thing found on some other sites. I really do not understand why people come here to do what, in my opinion, is pretty much welcomed at other sites that are less reputable than this one strives to be! Maybe someone can explain that to me without going overboard.
Thanks,
