Gun Control & RKBA
Showing Original Post only (View all)Why do you care about the RKBA? [View all]
I have a question. Why do you care about the RKBA?
In general, I care deeply about all civil liberties. But gun rights have a special place in my heart. I guess I always liked guns growing up. I spent countless hours plinking with BB/pellet guns as a kid. As I got older I informally started shooting clays pretty regularly. I never really thought about gun politics or self defense. Most of my life, I didn't have a carry permit nor did I even own a handgun.
Over the course of many years both personal and national events helped shape my perspective. I now spend a lot of my free time involved with grassroots state level pro gun activism. I'm also an avid recreational shooter and collector.
Why do you care about the RKBA?

No. 2, shooting well is a very frangible skill; it requires constant practice to stay good.

Correct, the majority of Democrats do not agree with your right wing views on RKBA.

Asserting something with which you don't agree is a "talking point"...

It's so seldom one sees an an appeal to popularity; it being such a fragile rhetorical device.
