Yea, sorry. I understand. I was just venting from an emotional reaction. I really wasn't looking for a gun debate, which is why I didn't put it in the political forum. I was just having a "too soon" moment.

I posted about seeing the pro-gun tshirt this morning and having a visceral reaction to it. I'm guessing it just attracted too many political type posts, but I was in a meeting so I didn't see if it went off the rails after my second post on it.
