    ...Trust me...
    You’ve asked for both trust and respect. Those things aren’t participation trophies, they’re earned and you haven’t earned either yet.

    ... ALL Americans have the same rights to the 2nd.
    Even convicted felons, those with perceived or actual mental health issues, and those under 21 that currently don’t have the same rights as those over 21?

    You really should read your party platform; it clearly states that “ALL Americans do not have the same rights to the 2nd”, and 2A specifically is the root cause for an epidemic in America.

    Well, when you join a very conservative gun forum, flashing an avatar and tag line under your avatar, boasting being a leftist and liberal gun owner, you had better have skin like a suit of armor!

    My thoughts? He posted that to provoke a response and a reaction from the other members of the forum. He posted that information very clearly in his first thread in the Introductions. It was done intentionally to illicit a reaction. Now whether the reaction expected was to see whether conservatives could accept a liberal and leftist gun owner, or merely to provoke controversy, I have no idea.

    I wasnt seeking your's or anyone else's approval... nor was I provoking a response. if you cant handle having discussions with people who think differently, that says more about you than it does about me

    I wasn't granting any approval, I was making an observation based on several factors. All of which you provided. Yes, you were trying to provoke a response or reaction. If you weren't, you would have chosen a much different avatar, a different tag-line under the avatar and much different opening Intro for your first post. Trust me, O am more capable of handling a discussion with people that think differently than myself. Problem is, people like yourself like to deviate, dodge or deflect in answering questions in a simple and direct manner. You have already demonstrated that in several of your replies to other members here when asked a question. I wouldn't expect any different since I think and respond like many of them.

    Here's a little known fact about myself, that I don't share very often with others on a very conservative gun forum, but would bring a bit of context in this discussion. My dear departed mother, was a life-long liberal Democrat, and my father is a hard-line conservative. So many discussions I have had with liberal Democrats go back to a time before you were even born. So please stop trying to glorify yourself into thinking you are something new, or unknown to me. I gave my mother a pass on various topics, and many we just agreed to disagree and left them alone. But, she was my mother, and I loved her dearly. You? ON the other hand, will never be afforded that same courtesy from me. Ever. U don't like liberal, leftist Democrats, with socialist or communist leanings. I never will. People like yourself are what are tearing down the very foundation in which this country was founded on. Even if you don't fully support or believe in what your Democratic leaders are doing, you still support and vote for them. People like yourself are huge part of the problem. People like myself. we would never support or vote for a pedophile, or a pervert for any public office and would denounce them, regardless of whether they were a Democrat or a Republican. @Hoji asked you a very direct question about that and you never bothered the answer him. I would ask, but I already know you won't answer it. So I won't.

    For the most part, I have stayed out of this fray with you, and have spoken my mind already before. No, I have no desire to get to know you, or learn about you, and I sure as hell will never respect you. There is nothing you can do to earn my respect. I an not going to go around to every post you make and drop clever comments, or memes, or call you out with silly nicknames, but I suspect time soon enough, enough members will make your being here quite uncomfortable, or you will twist off at the wrong person, at the wrong time, for all the wrong reasons, and the leadership here will turn you into a distant memory.

    so if my avatar was an adultering, draft dodging, con artist, who spent his entire life deflecting and belittling people he assumed were less than him, you would have agreed with me?

    My father was Archie Bunker and Meathead combined. He taught me to work my ass off for everything I wanted, but dont take shit from anyone. I have family and friends who all served in the miltary, just like a majority of the people in here do. Maybe conservative or democrat 10-15-20 years ago is different than now. But im not some punk kid that wastes my time pushing my ideolgy or beliefs on social media. im a grown man and you seem to spend a lot of time waisting your breath on things that arent going to make you better than me. just different.

    Heres a little something about me. I grew up in a neighborhood 4 miles from where your idol was born. I lived less than 15 miles from his golden tower. Hes a joke to everyone who knows him. The same guy who went on the radio less than 4 hours after the 2nd tower collapsed on 9/11, to brag about how he "now owned the largest building in lower Manhattan". Look it up, he said it. So while you were safe in your little cubby in Texas, I was listened to him brag on the radio about what he owned, while I made my way out of Manhattan.

    Do you know the last presidential nominee to lose their home state? Trump lost his home state by more than 22 points in 2016, and by even more in 2020. Do you know how much of a scumbag you have to be to lose an election in your home state? Im going to guess you dont.

    I am. Thank you
    So my question is: Why if you purport to support our Constitution, do you coincidentally purport to support an organization whose every statement and action is in direct opposition (that means against, for those of you in Rio Linda) to the Constitution?

    Just off the top of my head:
    aoc wanting to curtail 1a rights of radio
    And
    Her various statements against 2a rights

    China Joe 4a rights with home searches
    And
    His EO restricting 2a rights
    And
    His sundry statements against 2a
    And
    His ATF nomination...

    How can you, as a left leaning constitutionalist, allow yourself to be aligned with people like this? I fully admit Trump did not stand in the way of 2a infringement, but I'd take his ilk over an avowed anti-constitutionalist, as any loyal democrat is, any day of the week.

    Plus add in supporting the allowing of illegal aliens into our Country?

    Or how can someone support Pelosi, who says she's a practicing Catholic, but pushes for Planned Parenthood which is in the business of killing babies? I know quite few Catholics, and not one of them supports abortion in any way.

    Or how Democrats are ruining our economy, by wanting to shut down oil and gas production jobs in this country? I sure as hell don't like $5 a gallon gasoline!

    I could go on, and on, but I seriously doubt Pauly will answer these with simple and direct answers.

    Pauly, I would never tell you to leave this forum, but just a suggestion, IF you do plan on sticking around, change your avatar and tag-line to something less controversial. Because, unless you do, I suspect quite a few around here are going to bust your balls at every opportunity that they can.

    I'm fine with the pic and tag-line, I just want him to see the inconsistency of his position in that he seems to stand with those who stand against us (TGT), our rights and our Republic.

    And there it is. So tell me, are you better off today than you were 2 years ago? What did Trump do to make you hate him so much? Hate him enough to vote for a man and woman who promised to take away your firearms? A man who has opened the borders to illegal, Covid infested immigrants? A man who put 50,000 people out of work on his first day? A man who has stated that none of the bill of rights are absolute and re-interprets them to fit his agenda? A man who issues executive orders and actions like a king?

    Now please...tell me what Trump did to you?
