Guns are and have been a hobby I've enjoyed my entire adult life. In that time, I've always felt the hobby/passion was a great way to connect with strangers and transcend surface level differences; much as a love of baseball or football, etc. used to be.
I am glad to have a place where (even in these emotive times) we can enjoy our hobby, share our differing life perspectives (and here in General Discussion: political viewpoints), but know for the most part, that we try to treat each other with a respect that encourages us to come back and.....like me, eventually participate.
So, in these strange times, a few bucks to some guys who give me a place to hangout, get informed, share and be entertained seems like the right choice for me.
Thanks, LL et. al.
Best,
Hieronymous
