Did not like that at all. There weren't nearly enough questions about issues to make a determination and the options that were given didn't always fit my personal beliefs. It was either way left or way right. The plea-bargain question was stupid. That's how the systems is set up, and get's more convictions and much cheaper than having a trial for every single person, which they can do if they want. The plea-bargain is the defendant's choice.
So I will not post my results...and that was a pretty weak rant...sorry.

This is pretty much what I expected as well. Thanks for posting the link. It explains a great deal.

Straight up Ranger... I am sorry if you thought I called you a Nazi. I should have made myself more clear in my post. So that is my fault. I don't think you are one. Nor do I think any of the board members are. Though there may be some here. I do appreciate how the board is willing to police itself and make fun of the bubbas who make the whole gun community look bad. I personally don't see this site as being a right wing site. It's a board for people who like the AR15 and all Americans can enjoy that no matter what their politics should be. In fact the more you reach out to all people of all political stripes, the better it will be for gun rights.
Now if someone was a Nazi, I would call them out on that and only if they had already labeled themselves as such through words or actions. Just like I call some blacks ******s. Not because all blacks are. But because some of them are what that word implies. I try to treat all people with respect till they give reason for me not to give them respect.
So sorry for the confusion. I will try to be more clear about things. Offer for a beer is always still there too![]()
Not trying to shit up this thread. I just think Ranger deserves the respect of me clarifying and apologizing in the open and not in a PM.
Nynco, apology accepted and appreciated.
What you don't understand is that I'm a southern boy brought up in a fairly racist house, surrounded by friends whose parents were 3rd generation Klan. I went into the Army and learned that those same guys I was raised to dislike had my back, more than one gave his life for the creed. So, you see, being called a Nazi gets directly under my skin. I'm a cool cat 99% of the time, but I do have buttons.

Well I certainly agree that I would like to see gun ownership be less of a Conservative thing and just a thing. I would certainly like each race as well as political party agree on our rights of gun ownership and usage (I am sure I'm dreaming) but I do think the more across the board we are with different peoples the better it will be over all for all gun owners instead of being labeled certain things just because of gun ownership.
Well that makes total sense. It also speaks highly of someone who grew as a person rather than continue in the same path as was taught to them. I agree, I had the same experience in the military too. I know I myself grew a great deal from the experience. Esp from living over seas for a while. Its good to get outside of your comfort zone. Life has too many possibilities to live in a world of hate.
