I want to discuss the best ways to implement laws and regulations that will enhance public safety. I want to do this in an atmosphere of cooperation with those support gun ownership and those who oppose it, but have the best interests of the public in mind.
I am not interested in shit slinging, or name calling.
We learn from each other by noting our differences and respecting them, not by marching in step with any particular doctrine.

You and I are on the same side of the RKBA debate, but that doesn't mean we agree on everything regarding the best way to accomplish our common goals. I hope we're clear on this. I think I bring a different perspective to the discussion, having lived in different countries, including the UK, where there has been tremendous success in this area.
