[Ron Smith]

Don,

I agree, and very well stated. Freedom of Speech is our only true defense against subversion of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Our country is in a deep hole, both domestically and internationally. We need to take care of first things, first.

If, and, or when gun control issues arise. Don't post your complaints here, preaching to the choir. Use that electronic box in front of you to write (read e-mail) to your U.S. State Representatives and Senators on both sides, to "politely and Diplomatically" voice your opposition.

Most politicians don't give a fat rat's butt what side you are on, and they don't need to know. All they see is a prospective vote the next time they run for office.

Name calling, finger pointing and spewing venom , hate and discontent, has never won anybody over.
