This from the archetypical fanatical zealots on the list. I don't give a FF at a RD whether you or others of your absolutist extremist ilk APPROVE of my stance or not; the white dog truth is that it is a limited and specifically targeted compromise designed to maximize the combined sum of freedom and security available to the greatest possible nimber of our citizenry. It is surpassingly more logical, rational and reasonable than your Stepford zombie pod-person NRA-channelled party-line give-'em-all-a-gun ravings, and for that very reason will ultimately prevail, period. PS: A salamander is a fire elemental and mantis is a hood worn bu academics or clerics; the name salamantis is a nick I adopted subsequent to my divorce and means 'Hee hoo has learned by being burned."
