you can hang out somewhere more productive if this bores you. I am an activist and I want gun control reform along with millions of others. We are not going away, but you can.

@BettyColeman ??? I think there was a misinterpretation on your part.

@JackPedigo Ah, you are so very right. I get it now.. Thank you for correcting me. We have to win and all the countries with low murder rate by guns, have a more detailed law and they have guns, but not to slaughter masses of people. I am in for the long haul, I will fight for sensible gun control reform until I die. I suppose if I don't shut up it might be sooner.

@BettyColeman I have been donating and speaking out against our insane lack of even basic gun regulations for 30+ years. I even have a sign at my driveway

@JackPedigo I really owed you an apology after I went back and read it, It was obvious to me what you were saying! Friends? Smiles, Betty

@BettyColeman Please no apology. Communication is always problematic and I get it. Once a former partner and I went to a counselor. He said communication was the no. 1 issue and even he, a relationship counselor, sometimes had issues with his own wife. That is the first thing I assume when there is a difference is somewhere there is an issue either with sending or receiving a message.

if he is so great why don't
i know him?

Only police and military should have mass slaughter weapons. Do not bully or stalk me. You are an extremist and I have no use for them.

@BettyColeman
Fair enough.

Also I don't have enough spare time to stalk people, I just comment every now and then on the gun control forum. Don't worry

Also I'm not an extremist, I'm a pragmatic person.

a pragmatic man, not given to grand, visionary schemes

Pragmatic not such a nice word. Don't know as I would choose it. Yes I do. I would not. I am an activist. I fight for the rights of people who sit back and do nothing. Stick their heads in the sand like an ostrich and stay until others fix it for them. I will fight until the day i die for the rights of humanity, the animals, and the planet. After all, i was here to help fuck it up.

@BettyColeman
Just chill, life's too short to sweat the small stuff. Just try and enjoy your life as best you can and help people along the way regardless of what you or they believe.

My personal philosophy is harmonious coexistence. I am a pragmatic person because I realize what I can change and what I can't.

I agree. The NRA is part of the GOP MOB and fund their campaigns.
