After reading the above post's I dug this out of the archives,I think it explains very eloquently why some of us on here harbor views that tend to be considered Conservative( myself included),not on just the second amendment but on other things. I don't need Fox news or any news channel to shape my views. My views are freedom of choice, that is one of my rights as an American citizen.
Whoever posted this originally I thank you.
