I too wanted to say "thanks". I rarely check into this site anymore as it's just vicious. People pretend to espouse the right to have an opinion and then crap all over you if it's not identical to theirs.
I'm a former Army officer (IN) and have all the requisite qualifications (Airborne, Ranger, Air-Assault) and am presently a police officer. I get crapped all over in this place for being anti-American, etc. and got so mad I have largely left. Most of these toads are mere trolls themselves. I love shooting but believe in common-sense rules too. There are far too many people who are armed whose sanity I question. I'm afraid that the vitriol I read here isn't helping their cause any. Thanks for keeping your cool and putting forth good arguments. I get too angry and just leave rather then get sucked into an argument I can't win on the internet. If someone won't listen to reason I gotta go and to a great extent I have.
