    Could "we" be labeled political dissidents?

    It's hard to figure why the liberals can't see what disarming the honest citizens does.

    Remember Ruby Ridge.

    Experience is the best teacher and usually charges accordingly.

    Liberals beleive if you own or want to own a gun you are not an honest citizen. Its not the guns they hate, its the people who own or want to own guns they hate. My 2 cents [8D]
