One step forward, two steps back

[Ronin13]

Seriously, it happened this morning. On Friday, after the terrible events in Aurora, my dad seemed like his Progressive Conservative stance had moved a bit closer to bigger supporter of 2A. He even hinted at the fact he might go for CCW. THEN...
This morning we watched the hearing live at the office and afterward had to discuss the elephant in the room. The gal that works here (a liberal) was bringing up the point that bulk ammo purchases need to come under more scrutiny and that the ATF should be asking purchasers questions when making these transactions. Then it was brought up about a registry. I vehemently disagreed on this stating "Let's just limit all freedom while we're at it!" I stood my ground and both her and my dad ganged up on me about my pro-2A stance. Looks like dad's not going to be buying a gun this summer...

He even went as far as saying "You're too far right wing for your own damn good!"

Have him read a few "Armed Citizen" stories to illustrate the importance of Americans having their 2A rights.

You have two problems - powdered-butt syndrome and liberal utopianism. Your dad is never going to think you have anything to teach him - he powdered your butt when you were a baby. Liberals believe utopia can be achieved "if only everyone would think like us." They ignore human nature and much of reality.

All you can do is throw facts in their faces - cars kill more people than guns. Crazy could have killed just as many people by driving his car through the crowds before the movie opened.

Keep a smile on your face. If they get you angry, they win.

Well their ganging up on me got me a little angry- they won. The problem is, and I love my dad, but I fvcking hate when he does this: we debate- well they present their side- then I throw some stuff out, then they attack then he stops it all and says "no more!" I tried to say that a registry is very bad and [the gal that works for us] interrupted, like she always does, and said this horseshit like "They should either have a limit on amounts of ammo you can buy or have more scrutiny on buying bulk." How? 'sir, you're buying 2,000 rounds, what exactly are you doing this for?' Criminals will just lie. Well before I could retort the boss-man said "enough" and wouldn't let my speak my piece... whatever, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

Ronin, I wouldn't worry about it. Your pops is always right, and liberals are like talking to babies.


I would also remove names of co-workers.

This is such a frickin' annoying trait. It drives me crazy. Damn "kum-bye-ya" mentality.

Ronin, I don't know you or your dad, but I worked for a guy who employed his son. And because he employed him I could tell he had no respect for him, did the same thing, cut him off during conversations, told him you don't know what your talking about, etc.... Because he employed him, he felt like he was still supporting him? I don't know if this is your situation, but it sounds the same.
By the way his son was pretty lazy, and acted superior to us all, cause he was the bosses son. Also tell the liberal chick to piss off.

Just my .02
