I dont understand your point. Im not disagreeing with all of your points. Find friends, ranges and gun shops where you dont run into the rhetoric if you dont like it. I dont go to this creepy local shop with Nazi stuff and terrible customer service.
Its a big sport/hobby/lifestyle, find your niche and dont demand or opine how everyone should participate in it as you see fit. I dont like how hunting is here in Texas, pay big money to hunt if you dont have land, so I dont currently hunt.
We are in a fight for our rights whether you want to talk about it on forums or at the shop or range or not.
Our side hasnt made things ugly, theirs has.
I read the "being yoked..." reply as if you though I said you should go along with the things you do not believe in just to be polite and to sacrifice your standards. That is not what it should have sounded as.
Ok. Perhaps I read your reply incorrectly and misunderstood what you were saying? If that's the case, my mistake and my apologies.
