It's like if I pretended Ted Nugent, Wayne LaPierre or any of a hundred certifiable gun nuts represented the mainstream opinions of gun owners.

With Nugent you might have a point but calling LaPierre "certifiable" is ridiculous. The man keeps his job because almost 5 million gun owners see him as an effective voice for them.

This is why no discussion or compromise with the anti-gun side is really possible. Poisoning the well right from the start with such rude and insulting name calling only make people defensive.

I'm tired of being called a nut and worse just because I demand the rights supposedly guaranteed to me in the constitution.

no backgrounds checks bull hockey every time I have bought a gun I had to register it and do a background check

So are you saying that all the exempt points of sale which idiots like LaPierre insist on keeping don't exist?
You had better check with that girl doing the youtube blogs Ducimus posted, she rants about the evil attempt to close off the loopholes which exempt sales of firearms from backround checks.

Holy crap Obama is cunning.

I like her other videos, everyone needs to own a 4WD vehicle.
