Regular WarOnGuns correspondent HZ sent me an email regarding the proposed Illinois gun ban:
Aside from the one guy who did the right thing, why would we want to have anything to do with the rest of these intentionally ignorant parasites?
I don't even live in the stupid state and I get so incredibly mad.We are constantly admonished that criticizing those in the gun community can be divisive, that we must hang together...
Sent this out immediately to 6 gun owners / shooters and this was the response ....
1 Hunter/Skeet shooter said it's not going to affect him.
1 SWAT-medic said he would be exempted
1 Air Force reservist mocked me to my face by saying, "Oh no! The G is coming to take my guns way! Oh no! Not my machine gun! ha ha" ..... etc. We then settled down to a lengthy discussion in which I was unable to convince him of anything. He said I am not educated enough to decide/comment on legal issues. Lawyers, judges and legislators do that for me ..... blah, blah, blah .....
1 Co-Worker is too busy getting a house built to call anyone
1 Co-Worker .... no response
1 Co-Worker called and emailed his state senator
These were all people that I thought were friendly enough towards gun rights. I've either shot with them or know that they own firearms. Living in the state of Illinois must be poisonous to the mind and to reason.
I fear we will be unable to keep this republic.
