Fallout

[glockman19]

I have a friend of over 10 years in CA. He's an extreme liberal. We have always looked beyond our political beliefs to share a common interest, although we have had spirited debates. I received this email a few days ago:



I have not responded as he has certainly crossed the line in my view and knowing him, he cannot be reasoned with. I'm willing to write it off as a casualty of war. Thoughts?

Dear friend,

I too greave greatly that deranged people or radicalized terrorists create large scale murderous rampages as happened at the Orlando night club.
Unfortunately, like all of the recent attacks, Orlando happened in a "gun free" zone. Even Florida Concealed Weapons Permit holders are prohibited from carrying in places who's primary business is selling alcohol. And the armed guard at the door was the first shot.

To me the NRA is a Civil Rights Organization with ONE singular Civil Right to protect, unlike the ACLU, both who are against the "No fly - No Buy" proposal and other government lists that violate the 5th and 14th amendments.

As disappointing as your decision is, I wish you and your family nothing but Health and Happiness.

He made the choice, so no reason to respond. Some folks treat "friendship" or other emotions the same as turning on or off a faucet.

He already said "not welcome", take him at his word.

Long term friends are hard to come by, sorry for the "fallout".

Respectfully,
Kyle

NRA borders on a terrorist group? Gave me a nice chuckle.

[ojisan]

It's a bummer that he is so irrational.
There's no point in replying.
He may calm down in a few months, maybe not.
For now he is a liability and should be avoided.

You called that person a friend?

[scifigunner]

Just tell him that every time you visit you'll wear a police officer's uniform. After all, you can carry anything with that on and he'll think it is OK

[njineermike]

Grieve, not greave. A "greave" is shin armor. Tell your liberal friend he should go back to junior high and learn basic english, THEN he's free to have an adult opinion.

I am with you on this. Have a family member say that I am no better then Timothy McVeigh the Oklahoma bomber because I am a gun owner. Won't even let his wife own a gun.

Tell him that based on his own statements, he is responsible since he supports gun free zones. Also suggest that he considers doing the same for those who sell vehicles, alcohol (drunk drivers), cigarettes, etc. In addition, since he is against firearms being sold, that he is also responsible for ALL of those who can not defend themselves due to not being have to always have a firearm with them, which includes all of those killed in mass shootings.

I have two friends that I see are going down the same toilet flush as your friend. They have no problem throwing out logical arguments and refuse to accept anything but what the liberal media machine blows up their ***** and crams down their throat. I won't be surprised if they pull this same thing as your ex-friend. And when that happens, it'll suck. But they know they'll be welcome around me if they ever see the light.


Sent from my bunker in the woods

[kemasa]

Oh, go over to their house and put a gun free zone sign in their front yard.

[skyscraper]

Just goes to show you that individuals who approach situations and events out of emotion, and not logic, have misguided opinions.

You should send him a bag of fertilizer....

On the card say "From Tim"....

[micro911]

Maybe, if there were couple of people with firearms, there might have been less casualties. Let him know about it.

[BigStiCK]

"Anachronism" huh. I doubt he has ever stopped to think of the true purpose of the 2A, and exactly WHO it is that is trying to destroy that right. Requires critical thinking skills.

I wouldnt even respond, dude.
