That is the most honest pro-gun position I have ever heard from a confirmed liberal ever.

I could agree with this guy pretty close to 100%.

Great article, Ralph.

Incredible post. Thanks Ralph. I certainly saved that for some friends. That could use a good education.

It surely is a different perspective that also affirms the old adage about young liberals who come around as they age.

Everyone is a liberal until they grow and enter the real world.

Not over here, I was a-political until Jimmy Carter. There was many a young woman that I never talked about politics with. I did not pay for cable and could care less about the misery of the day was. So I never was left before right, the people that I came from all were hard left and I walked away from.

I am not particularly pleased that a liberal would make the case for gun ownership.

I would prefer they remain unarmed.

Liberals should ban together and show solidarity against guns by having some sort of symbol they could wear to remind us all of their cause.....

you can make it harder to get a license, but just like vehicles .... if someone does not have a license or it was taken away, people still do it



a case in point is Hunter Biden illegally buying a gun and his brothers ex-wife throwing it in garbage when he started messing with her underage daughter as well as her
