    What is a "Liberal Friend"? They all wrote me off the last time a Rethuglican "stole" the election.
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    "Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.
    -Friedrich Nietzsche

    "Every time something really bad happens, people cry out for safety, and the government answers by taking rights away from good people."
    -Penn Jillette

    A World Without Guns <- Great Read!

    Being less of a hardline conservative and more of an independent (officially, I'm a Paleolibertarian / Classical Liberal), I do have lots of friends who are not hardline conservatives, but are getting more interested in guns. I took a guy who wasn't interested much in politics out shooting for the first time last week, and he loved it! Some time after thanksgiving, I'll be introducing a friend who calls himself an independent to the range. I showed him a couple of guns last week at my place and he made it clear that while he was interested, he and his wife were afraid of having guns in the house with young kids.... We'll fix that!

    Going to use the kids as targets?

    If I had liberal "friends" I'd probably recommend something like this for their first gun.

    That's not the best way to get more people on our side...

    Gee thanks Ray, I thought I was your most liberal friend.
