I love the names that the OCT crowd applies to gun owners who don't agree 100% with their position and methods: Butters, Anti-gun (I have been called this), Anti-Constitution[al] (I have been called this as well), Hater[s] (I have been called this also), Turncoats, and more than a few other endearing names. The funny thing is OCT along with other groups have done, and continue to do, more damage than the anti-gunners could by themselves. So exactly who do you want to call a Pelosi, other progun activists who are getting their legislation passed without having to try and claim credit for a bill they called on their membership to oppose?
Just because we don't agree on tactics doesn't mean that we are not on the same side, but I've been referred to as all kinds of things none of them kind. I was even told I haven't been long enough to have an opinion. When a man has been denied a God given right for his whole life, he gets excited when he sees the light at the end of the tunnel. He is overjoyed when he realizes that the light at the end of the tunnel isn't a train.
you say you have been told "Haven't been long enough to have an opinion..." Who said told you this and been what long enough? Everyone has a right to an opinion, they may not have enough experience to form an a valid one by the reckoning of other folks but they can have that opinion. Again who do you want to call a "Pelosi?"
My hope is not to call anyone a Pelosi, but when my opinion is minimized by labeling me militant or some other endearing term it's frustrating to say the least.
Are you an OCT member who has demonstrated with long guns? Are you an OCT member who has claimed that anyone and everyone who does not agree 100% with everything that CJ Grisham desires is an anti-gunner?
If the answer to these questions is "no," then I seriously doubt you've been called a militant here on the Forum. If your conduct yourself as does Grisham, then you certainly fit that description, but that's not the same as calling you a militant. If a post denounces a thief and you feel targeted by that post, then you have labeled yourself.
BTW, call anyone a Pelosi here and you'll be gone in a heartbeat. We've had enough of OCT types calling anyone and everyone who calls their tactics into question anti-gun and other things and we stopped tolerating that crap long ago.
