To me any individual liberty is a liberal, in the classic sense of the word, position. Gun ownership is no different.

If you're interested, read a book called Hillbilly Elegy which will give you some insight into the mind of a southern Ohio hillbilly. My wife laughed hysterically because it's practically my autobiography. Even some of the family member names are the same. I even have a brother with the same first name. A real life Larry, Daryl, and Daryl. The book isn't supposed to be a comedy so you probably won't find it as funny as my wife or daughter did.
No worries, as I said, I reread the post and it definitely could be perceived as a personal swipe. The number of people who are open to a honest exchange of ideas on this board has regrettably shrunk and seems to do so with every passing year.
