Welcome aboard! I think one thing that most of us have in common here, is that we grew up with guns being household items. It's not just "a hobby" it's a very important part of who we are.
Glad to hear you're starting to pay attention to what's going on in the world. I think we in the West, have been riding the coat-tails of our veterans and forefathers for far too long.
I might recommend a little more Zerohedge and Corbett Report, and a little less Alex Jones.
I don't think anyone should say anything about Sandyhook, mostly because not a single one of us really know what we're talking about regarding that event.
I challenge anyone to watch the video put out by AE911 Truth, anyone! Doesn't mean that aliens and gypsies conspired to take over the world; just means that our politicians and fearless leaders, have not been telling the whole truth (say it ain't so!!)
Change is overrated
I think that Good/Evil type language is best saved for the Tavor vs. type 97 thread...
Glad to see you're getting involved, all the same. Happy New Year!
