well done thrird rail

I had a good encounter with my dad this weekend myself

we were talking bout the awb and he was all for it {thought aw's were fully automatic}:rolleyes: {wonder where he got that idea}:fire:

after I explained the facts to him he was against the ban :)

one at a time we will get there I hope
 
Would this be the Cascade Mall Sears, exit 230 off Interstate 5 in Burlington, Washington?

Where I go to buy PC games on the way back from Kesselrings?

If so, let me know what register you work, and I will come by and shake your hand for dispelling the anti-hysteria on these two.

When I get back in July, of course.....
 
Nope. Burlington MA! The most anti-gun state here.... I'm still amazed that a simple conversation opened their eyes. I'm going to try again if anyone brings the subject up, it couldn't hurt.
 
3rd rail ..... others.

Know what - I think here we have not just ''anti's'' and ''pro's'' .... we have ''agnostics'' ..... people who are hovering around being anti's but (thank heaven) still seem to have open enough minds to be able to listen to logic and fact.

True anti's are usually so closed-minded and emotion driven, that almost no amount of rational explanation gets thru - they change subject or clam up .... and escape!

The agnostics .. and I hope they represent quite a number - can and it seems will, ''come around'' if made to think and are presented with good facts.

This is not to demean this particular achievement - one bit .. but seems these folk were at least receptive to input and listened and learned ....... and saw things better.

We all need to do this every chance we can.

Quite true. If you live in an area populated mostly by liberals, that's often all you are exposed to and their "party line" assumes the status of dogma because you don't hear anything to counter it.

Non-RKBA example: Many years ago I heard of a group calling itself "Rails to Trails." Their "thing" was to find railroad rights-of-way that were being abandoned by the railroads and, under a Federal law called the Railbanking Act, establish grass roots efforts to convert these rights-of-way into hiking and biking trails rather than let the rights-of-way get gobbled up by developers and lost completely.

Sounds like a win-win -- people get trails, and if in the future the country returns to railroads, the rights-of-way are still intact. Or so I thought. Something I saw in a mailer disturbed me, though, so I called them and asked what if in an area where they had converted a rail line to a trail, the needs of the region changed and the government wanted to re-establish the railroad.

"Oh, we would oppose that very strongly."

So there it is. They don't mind using a convenient law to get what they want, but when the other end of the law (which represents the INTENT of the law) comes around, God forbid you should ask them to adhere to said law.
