Exactly!  Exactly!  Exactly!!  It would be a landslide!

I've been trying to say this the past couple of days ...
anti-gunners will come up with any "example" to try and
make their point.  Anything.  Even though it can be beaten
down in a New York minute.  Most of us "gun-lovers" are open

all they will accept however.

I'm done.  Thanks Jonathan.
