When the game is out I will be all over it. And Siggi has got the goods on the whole thing.

SDOE is not dead, it just in another zone.

I will see you on that forum soon I hope.

Don't flame me, just get on board.

Just because your not going to turn IL-2 into your reason for living you shouldn't join another forum?

I'm presently a member of TONS of forums.

I join tons of forums, although not alot of game forums.

Tech forums, woodworking forums, log building forums. and such.

I'm currently in a great gun/hunting debate on ars-technica.com

That is insane, did you tell them that it was none of their business? Thats what I would have been tempted to do.

I personally have no problems with the goverment knowing if I have any guns and what they are, but they shouldn't try to find out like that.

I read about police stopping people for insurance checks, that alone doesn't bug me, but they were asking where they were coming from and where they were going, why the hell do they need to know that?

Just why is it that when you try to have an intellectual conversation with someone on the "hunting/gun debate", and you're in favor of hunting and owning guns, that the opposition quickly degenerates to namecalling and personal attacks?

I'm so bloody sick of this! These folks are dead set to use the media and their use of language to deny us our 2nd Amendment rights, and when we point out ANYTHING to support our point of view, suddenly we're ignorant rednecks "who get off sexually with our guns".

You can do a funny thing with statistics. It's an easy thing to take stats on guns used in, say, domestic violence and then say that's the whole story. So, what happens when you begin to collect stats on how many times crimes were interupted when the perpetrators discovered that the intended victims were armed? Often, the mere sight of a firearm sent the perp off to find easier prey.

*^%$#!!!!!

So, any anti gun types out there... save the personal attacks and name calling! Resorting to that strips the veneer of intellectualism off you and reveals a shallow ignoramus.

And on that final note, it's many of these anti-gun folks who jump on the police accusing them of brutality, profiling and such, reducing their effectiveness, and thereby causing me to think I need to buy my first gun in 15 years!

Okay, I feel better now.

Probably should have moved this to the Flames forum... Sorry.

Respects,

She wasn't too fond of guns still, next time someone came to the door, I answered it with a hunting rifle, I'm not even sure if the guy opened his mouth while he walked backwards... slowly.

I just really don't understand what they have against hunters.

I woulnd't care if I couldn't get hand guns or simi autos or assult rifles or nothing, but whats so bad about shotguns and normal hunting rifles?

Are people out murdering other people with them? holding up banks and such?
