I am an independent Finn, nobody influences my opinions or observations. Not FOX News, not folks who attend Tea Parties, not the Obama network PMSNBC, nor talk radio. I do take particular pleasure when my ideas make the news at FOX or on talk radio. Shows I'm right most all the time, jt.

I was not in favor of the ban on rifles that resembled military assault style long arms. While that style of firearm does not appeal to me, it does to those who are varmint hunters, such as coyote, and are frequently used by hunters for that purpose. Using the term "assault weapons" without a full description of what constitutes that firearm is an attempt to conjure up negative attitudes toward them by the uninformed public. Inner city people, those who never had a rural lifestyle experience, are afraid of the term "assault weapons" and so the Obama/Feinstein/Schumer/Bloomberg crowd use it to scare the daylights out of the general public. I do not support the ban that is being proposed because it is full of red herrings and statistics (jt) show true assault weapons are very rarely used in killings in America.

You should attend a gun show. You will meet very nice people, see a collection of all types of firearms, including antiques. And believe this or not, the vendors and attendees don't shoot each other.

From: Do you favor universal background checks for gun purchases in Minnesota?
