It's like the ball busting we give other services, it's all good, and has more machismo than saying I love ya man!This reminds me of a real world disagreement several years back.
I was working a pistol match a few years back in Arkansas. One of the employees of the governing body and I were having a "spirited" debate over a contentious rule interpretation. Unbeknownst to me, said employee's BIL was standing at the back of the shooting bay when another shooter seriously asked him "Are they going to come to blows over this argument?" His BIL replied "Hell no, they're best friends!* They're just really passionate in what they believe!"
That's how I look at OSA. It may appear to an outsider that we're at each other's throats, but I firmly believe that any of us would come to another's aide should the need arise and in spite of any personal differences we may have. I know I feel that way from my side of the "fight" anyway.
*Which shouldn't be construed as me not going to his office later that week and dirty dicking his computer mouse, which I totally did
...but its harder for me to deal with folks that support people/politicians that would undo America in an instant, be it our "current" country or our country circa 1900, just for power and greed...I feel that probably 98% of politicians, celebrities, etc, on BOTH sides of the political aisle, could give a crap less about us normal folks, but some want support on topics that I will never agree with, no matter what percentage of the citizenry claims its OK...
Exactly correct. There are two levels of citizenry in this country. The Elite in DC and Hollywood, and the rest of us deplorables. They think what they have to say is more important than us because it benefits them.I have no issue being friends, either personal or on social media, with folks that disagree with me on topics the OP listed, such as medical marijuana, tattoos, etc...hell, I'm even friends with folks that shoot 6.5 Creedmoor's
