@CSGV: Bringing People Together

One thing that I've noticed in my many 'conversations' w/ gun banners is that they have an overwhelming need to believe that all firearm advocates are in lockstep and take our marching orders from the NRA. Well anyone w/ a clue knows that's not true as there is quite a variety of opinions amongst us, sometimes leading to some pretty heated arguments and conflict.

But as they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Following one of the fun conversations w/ Ladd Everitt (aka GritsJr) of the CSGV, two individuals who had butted heads previously found themselves working together to smack down that obnoxious turd.

Here's how things went afterwards:

Hey Linoge. I know we tend to argue a lot when we encounter each other, but you were great yesterday.

Look at it this way–Ladd sees you as much of a Threeper as he does me .

Which just goes to show that he is even more whacked-out than we originally thought .

Seriously, though, we do agree on a few points… just not on others.

Good to see you, Link P–your contributions to our earlier discussion with CSGV were much appreciated.

Linoge, I could probably have handled some of our disagreements better than I did.

I wish I had.

It happens. Does not mean we cannot poke fun at morons like Ladd…

So while they aren't likely to exchange Xmas gifts, it did make them remember they're on the same side w/ the same goals, just different ideas on how to get there.

Thanks Ladd. You're a blessing for pro-rights advocates.
