Sorry for the delay.  But good things come to those who wait. 
You must understand my time is very valuable...being a far right wing conservative banner guy and all. 
I in no way was suggesting that only dead patriots who served this great nation are true Americans? All who serve this country are patriots! And thank you for your service. You simply misunderstood my comments. But I forgive you.

Just a smile and "ho, ho, thanks for your dough stranger."

I agree. There should be checks before purchasing a weapon. There are checks in my state and a seven day waiting peiod.

Ok I agree that the Presidents daughters names should not have been used in the commercial however I also agree with the message the commercial was trying to project.

That depends what you mean by "control and accountability"? Gun control? Gun control is very much an infringement of our rights! That's what puzzles me...why are you standing by idle? Have you not read whats in the Feinstein Bill? She wants a TOTAL ban on all semi-automatic weapons!

In this day and age, rational thinking adults have the capability of expressing their views to protect their rights without the heavy hand of this lobby.

When it comes to protecting my rights....I go with all methods necessary! If the NRA is on the side of protecting our rights then they have my endorsement.
