What is it exactly you want? Liberal gun owners to go on those sites and post liberal stuff? I just didn't quite get it? I'm not a gun enthusiast, as in clubs and fondeling it all the time, I just own one and use it occasionally, like any other tool. Its not even a hobby ya know? That would be my reason for not hanging around gun forums.

The link you gave me was of a post where you cut and pasted some admittidly rude comments but they weren't exactly racist:

"Kicked off Democraticunderground for the 9th time...My wolf-in-sheep's-clothing act gets better every time out....They're terrified of debate...that's so funny...makes me feel good...how else would you get away with proliferating liberal nonsense...My favorite screename I came up with was "left of stalin"...After hanging out with the DU crowd, I'd suggest a good shower at a biohazard facility..."

"A bit more of the enlightenment from this intellectual haven: "That would lull them into thinking you're one of the "progressives" while actually showing a wee bit of true colors...Reading that message board is like watching a political debate between semi-literate 4-year-olds...."shallow-thinker" "blind-sheep" either one should get you appointed to a "moderator" status fairly quickly on those liberal lemming sites....Demorats have had that problem for a very long time now. They would dearly love to have their socialist utopia, but they know they must make their way through the intransigent partisans to get there..."

And most hilarious of all: "...at least we don't have to hide "underground" from the light of day."

You ask where are the Dem. gun owners at the NRA rally? I also don't understand. Do you mean protesting Cheney? I have NO idea how many Dems are NRA members, (I'm not) but those would be the ones to protest nra support of bush, I would think. Is that what you mean? Its my understanding the NRA originally was kind of a support for gun owner organization - sponsored safty classes and such. I don't know when they got political, maybe they always were, but my point is that the organization seems pretty right wing now and it makes it pretty awkward to join if you are more liberal. Probably both organizations would benefit from kicking the extremists out - then maybe more Dem gun owners would join. To me guns are kinda like anything else - if you don't like em don't own one, but why do you want to tell someone else they can't have one?
