I'd say much of the gun rights crowd is made up of extreme Right-Wing Republicans, but not entirely.

An example would be myself. I am most definitely not a Republican, nor am I really a traditional Democrat but am more of a social libertarian (No affiliations with the wacky LP) with a fiscally conservative side (In terms of keeping a balanced budget and not wasting tax money). Hell I was even banned from a firearms forum because I challenged many of the loony Republicans on their ignorance and bigotry.

IE: I support legalization of drugs, I am completely in support of gay marriage (The events in several of our states this past election on this issue disgust me), I believe the poor should get a helping hand from the government, and I would also advocate a constitutional amendment saying that the Federal Government MUST run with a balanced budget except in times of declared war. No tax cuts when our National Debt is ballooning to huge levels. Oh, and I also am a huge supporter of gun rights.

Based on these issues where would you say I fall on our silly American black and white political spectrum? I agree with the Democratic party on so many things so it saddens me that so many like minded people similar to myself are driven away because of their idiotic stance on gun control. So horse shit, I think not.

I believe if it wasn't for the gun issue, George W. Bush would be preparing to hand over the White House keys to John Kerry. But because we picked Kerry over say Dean whom I believe would've destroyed Bush, we are now stuck with 4 more years of the Chimpy the Moron and his religious freak administration.

I'm new here, so don't hurt me too much for this post. Hehe.
