Sorry, you can't be both. I'm going to have to confiscate your liberal card. (/s).

While I don't agree with your viewpoint, I find I respect it. It's considerate and well thought out. You're not the kind of gun owner I worry about.

Aww, thanks! I am very much a "meet you in the middle" type of person. I believe that in most cases, extremely one-sided opinions are formed because many people are incapable of respectfully disagreeing. If I said your opinion was stupid, you would likely plant your heels and double down.

We can agree to disagree and that is OK. :)

Indeed. If we could all do that, respectfully disagree but meet in the middle we'd certainly be in a much better place. And not just with gun control.
