[TheForge] Sighting in Rifles

[ries]

As someone who owned a 22 at 12 years old, and who has no problems  
with friends teaching his kids to shoot, I am not exactly anti-gun.
But I am not in need of owning heaps of em either.
They are fun toys, and I have lots of good friends who own guns.

But I have to agree with Bruce- as a matter of priorities, I have  
very different ones when it comes to politicians.

protections to prisoners, wiretaps you and everybody

All that's okay...

...As long as you can smoke your lungs out, buy guns,
and avoid wearing seat belts and motorcycle helmets.

That's quite a vigil!

Somehow, my vision of America seems divergent from
yours.
