    Gun? What's a gun? I don't even know what you're talking about, this gun thingy....

    I used to have one when I lived at home but left it there with my parents when I moved away. I'm actually thinking about getting one again but haven't pulled the trigger yet on the idea......

    Yeah, I had to. And pro-gun control is very much conservative. However, it's difficult to define 'conservative' in America when Trump himself qualifies (Trump is about as conservative as I am a toothbrush). It's easier to define liberal, since there is a coherent set of beliefs and ideals.

    It's also difficult when money gets involved, since we know that there is an monetary reason to proliferate gun ownership.

    I thought this discussion was a bit bland, so I opened it up. Deal.

    Except for Reagan...and looking at the republican primary we witnessed this year, evidently republicans consider him to be the gold standard of what a republican looks like.

    You know why most people carry a gun? Because it's easier than carrying a cop.

    I have a Daisy BB gun, but I don't think that qualifies as a true "gun".
    God Bless America, God Bless our Military and God Bless the Police who defended the country against the insurgents on January 6, 2021

    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    We conservatives prefer to "conserve" the Constitution and it's Amendments. Thus, pro-gun people more accurately are conservative.
