7. Let me be clear

Jimmy,

i want to be clear on a few things upfront
I am a gun owner and I hold a CCW. I have a unique skill-set that necessitated it right after college. In my current professional life a CCW is not required but sometimes I carry. My wife also has her CCW but after having our child she does not carry on her person any longer. We practice safety at all times and all weapons are always secured. Granted I had to go thru many background checks i did not find them bothersome and most of the waiting was on the human side of processing apps. I am a registered democrat but often find myself having more libertarian views on my personal and local situation. I worked for both 08 and 12 campaigns for Obama and was also very active in local and state races. Oh yeah my family is in elected state politics.


I look at all the horse trading that occurs and the coordination from Blomberg's MAIG and his purchase of many GC groups (direct and indirect) as both a benefit and hindrance to his goal of civilian disarmament. I support reasonable gun control but I don't support an ultra .0001% who I believe uses his power to enhance his pro business republican positions. He is going after vulnerable dems in vulnerable districts and that could cost democrats seats in the house and senate.

But yeah its cool to find a site where people can also see all the underhanded politics that corrupt supposedly straightforward initiatives like background checks.
