Hello everyone, just looking for a place to hang my hat, talk about guns, talk about politics and maybe even pizza without being flamed for being both "liberal" and a gun owner/nut. I am mostly liberal in my views on things, I think people should be able to marry who they want, the rights of women should be protected and I don't particularly want religion in the government. I also like guns but want a common sense discussion on the topic without either side resorting to name calling and off-the-cuff statistics to "prove" their point. I don't think Obama is an evil Muslim, or that he hates the military or that he hates the USA or any other of the lies spread by the conservative right, I think he's a decent guy who's done a good job even with an obstructionist Congress. I can't stand the thought of Trump... or Cruz or Kasich being president, I voted for Obama both times and Bernie in the primary.
I cleared out most of my firearms last year to save some money but am slowly (not slow enough according to my wife) building it back up. So far I've got a 1974(ish) SKS, a Savage Axis .223 (hoping to trade for an AR upper), a brand new Remington 870 express tactical, a Sig P225/P6 9mm from before I was born, a Savage .17hmr that I LOVE to hunt with and a Marlin Model 60 that I loathe but was given to me by my father, so I keep it I have a degree in Computer Science and am a software engineer by profession, I'm married and have a son and a daughter on the way and my wife and I are in the middle of selling our house and buying another one. If you read all that, then I commend you
Greetings from Ohio
