Actually, no. I thought the same thing until I read the article. It is fairly well stated and an entirely gun-friendly piece.

Yeah, basically, it's a "pro-gun" article by a History Teacher using the "anti-gun" terminologies against them. Because our position is "common sense" rather than sending students to college defenseless.

Interesting guy. Started out as a liberal, because a Reagan Democrat, got disillusioned with the whole mess of them in Washington and became a LIbertarian. I considered becoming a Libertarian, but they have some really goofy ideas (like private police forces) that I cannot subscribe to or support. So now I'm a free particle acting as an irritant to the system. :bigear:
