There are a few of us liberals...(gasp) scattered about Texas.
You must fit in about as well as a black drag queen at a KKK rally.
Brave man you are.

mwc-
you hit the nail on the head.. that is the biggest argument/concern as to why we need to have guns..
if the government does say, "OK, handguns are illegal, turn them all in".. law abiding citizens will do that, but i guarantee you, the criminals wont. now obviously, this is a fantasy world i speak of, that will never happen, but you get my point.
but what you said is exactly how i feel.. i dont want to be at a disadvantage when it comes to having to defend myself, or my family. plain and simple..
and mwc, where have you liberals been hiding, AUSTIN... hehe

EXCUSE ME, ARE YOU THE SINGING BUSH??

That's funny but not far from the truth. I tend to stay away from political discussions lest I might find myself ostricized.

mwc - I wasn't aware there were ostriches in Texas. Be careful
Bren, I've been working throught this over the last couple of days and my conclusion is this - ALL of your avatars are scary, so use the one you like the most. Also, when you wake up with something warm beside, the thing you want to make sure of is thatit's the same species, although I did see an attractive whale recently.

Actually, I applaud (and absolutely enjoy) the incredible things you are able to conjur via the web to add to the mix. After doing a major whale-induced RLOL, I came up short trying to think of the search terms that one could use to find that particular piece of photographic largesse. I say Bravo!! Hell, I was 23 before I found out Moby Dick wasn't VD.

Hey Ray...was the whale once a missile flying through space? (for any Douglas Adams fans)

Hey people!
Just wanted to throw my hat in and say I'm like bigjohn. I was raised in a rural area, raised hunting and fishing and camping. I can build a barn, catch fish, hunt deer, grow vegetables, etc., etc. I now live in Atlanta, a far cry from where I grew up.
I own many guns, none for the purpose of killing people. I'm very spiritual about my hunting/fishing. I only take what I need and use all I take. I'll only go fishing or hunting with people I consider worthy of such an experience. I don't carry my pistol anywhere but to the hunt camp or the range. God forbid I ever have to fire on anyone out of defense...
Unfortunately, not everyone has this same respect for life. I love our right to free speech and our right to bear arms and I recognize that the mouth and gun are similar...once you shoot it off, you can't take it back. You have to have respect for other people and other living things...that we owe to one another. And refusing something to the majority because a fraction of a minority can't do so will not solve any problems, real or perceived. Censoring speech b/c a few can't think is wrong.
My 2. And I welcome yours...the earth is too big and too small not to love each other regardless.
