[QUOTE="gillman7, post: 883082, member: 2784"] What I did was follow the logical process of what you said in your post. You inferred that we should hunt like our grandfathers, and honor their way of hunting. In your line of reasoning, you may have meant blue jeans and flannel shirts, someone else might feel that they should only use a open sighted gun, another might think everyone should wear a fuzzy eared hat like a Canadian. My post was following your line of reasoning. I believe you even post the same thing later on in your post, (see below) Technically, we do legislate morality in our society, whether I agree with it or not. The challenge is that we live in a democratic society, (or Republic, depending how you look at it), and I have the option of changing laws I do not agree with. My concern is that you employ the same rhetoric that so many of our opponents do. When someone within our community can not even understand the basis for our beliefs, how are we to help the ones outside of it to understand? Pardon my sarcasm, but I am hesitant to think of someone as being on my team, that is overly wise at the age of 35. It is sad to see someone become disillusioned, apathetic and cynical in 16 short years, from 19 to 35? What I am talking about is convictions of right and wrong, not personal views or preferences that can and will change as we mature. You will realize that there are some things worth standing for. I agree, keyboard commandos are a dime a dozen, but to see someone post that they believed in something when they were 19, and now that they are much older and know better at 35, leads me to think that you really didn't believe in it at all, just had a intellectual assent to it's correctness. Knowing and believing are world's apart. Isn't this a contradiction of what you just said a minute ago at the top post? The reason I respond so strongly is that you post in a public [B]gun[/B] forum and take an attitude that is the same the arguements that the anti gunners do. I do hope that we are on the same team, but in light of your apathy of fighting, I do wonder if you will fight along side of me...... [/QUOTE]
