Would you date a black person?

Would you date a jew?

Would you date a pro-gun conservative?

Labels are pretty useless.

If you find someone you like spending time with, then consider your situation and make a well considered, personal choice.

I chose an "anti-gun liberal" who now shoots better than most "pro-gun conservatives" I've ever met. (Male or Female) Opinions in life can change, what really matters (charachter, honesty, etc) will most likely not.

According to most people here I should have "run" as soon as I found out my future wife was an "anti-gun liberal". 7 years later, I'm very glad I stayed.

YMMV
 
guitargod:That's exactly it. She's never had a steady job in her life and her parents have always bought her everything(including a mercedes). So of course she doesn't understand the effects of her paycheck going to pointless liberal programs. She grew up in LA, I grew up in the boonies in Illinois...she even get's embarassed if I wear my Med. Sized ALICE pack in public(it's not even camo!).

Ugh...I gotta get out of this.

get rid of her... liberal I can handle, anti gun I can handle( most of them are only anti gun do to no exp...)

but not being able to keep a job and having her parents buy her every thing is not something I can stand. I work hard for every penny I make.

I rise in defiant defense of my profession (though I may be one of the only ones who does.) As a Social Studies teacher I do NOT allow bobble-headed thinking in my classroom. I don't shove my political opinions on any of my kids but they do get a healthy dose of the history of the U.S. and the importance of personal responsibility. No one gets a free ride, you work or I don't pass you.

Truly it sounds like your relationship problems go much deeper than guns. If she's a really good person and you are deeply in love you may consider how much you are willing to invest in this relationship but you have to really look at what matters to you and decide if she's worth the cost. Only you can make that decision, don't rush into it, be thorough in your considerations, but when it's decided be honorable in how you proceed. Be the kind of person you'd respect.

Let me restate that, it is paramount: BE THE KIND OF PERSON YOU'D RESPECT.
 
Here's Another Angle:

She is biased against private ownership of firearms, which is obviously an important component of your lifestyle. You have a "major disagreement" of some sort and she decides to "get you." She goes to court, claims you struck or threatened her. You are now the subject of a restraining order and a prohibited possessor. At this point, do you really care how hot she looks or how wild she was in bed?
 
alaskanativeson,

My apologies. I made a hasty generalization which is by no means true across the board. I applaud you for your efforts to educate our children. We need more teachers like you. One thing I really enjoy about my government professor, for example, is that I can't tell what his political affiliation is (although I have my suspicions that he is a conservative).
 
You make that choice. If you really want to stay together try to change her views on guns. Most of the time people don't like guns is because they're misinformed by politics who think anyone with guns=bad. But here we know that that isn't true.
 
If you're looking for a potential wife and mother of your children, then no. If you're just out for the proverbial good time, then it's up to you whether she's worth the aggravation.
 
I would say run away. Get out of that relationship.

You need to teach yourself to be ruthless in finding the perfect partner and intolerant of anybody who disagrees with your most emotional ideals.

Now, would I date an anti gun liberal? That's like asking me would I castrate myself using a rusty, dull knife without an anesthetic. Hell freaking damn no.

And marriage? I'm never going to get married. I'm too greedy for that. I don't like the idea of compromising, it's for weak people.

I LOVE MYSELF! GO EVIL MONKEY!!!! :D
 
If it's a matter of live and let live, yes; if it's "my way or the highway, then I'd take the highway.
 
Hi fatguynlittlecoat,

Get away from her for a month. I get the feeling you are thinking emotionally and not logically. Removing yourself from the situation temporarily would help you regain your objectivity.

Or... flip a coin. But instead of looking at the coin ask yourself what you were hoping it would be when it was in the air.

depends on how anti-gun.

I know a girl who is anti-gun, but not to the point that she gets up in arms about it. She just rolls her eyes when she asks if I'm carrying and leaves it at that.

I would date a girl who is anti in the sense that she doesn't like guns and therefore won't personally own one or carry one, but won't stop me from doing so. I would not date a girl who plans to control me to the extent of exerting control over my ownership of guns or carrying of a gun.

I would prefer a woman who is pro-gun.

The character "Heather" in the movie "Tremors" is a good example of the kind of woman I'd prefer but am not likely to find.
