        You have an interesting point of view in your replies.
I like the quotes and the in depth analysis.
You may say anything about what you think my motive is.
I guess only I know the truth and you won't extend your trust.
That's fine and expected.
I don't get my feelings hurt often, since I am usually the person who always speaks first.
It may or may not be in line with the mainstream of the forum, but I still say it.
Feelings are self generated(self perceived) and only the individual will determine how they respond to the dialogue.
Basically, I got pretty thick skin.
Good quote.
I like to use " I was born at night, just not last night".
Same premise, slightly different quote.

        I think they just desperately want to think of themselves as "moderates" on gun control

        "I have come here...with the objective of trying to draw some consensus" I doubt that very much

        OK, which *extant* gun regulation(s) would you be willing to give up, in exchange for others?

        You've pointed out once again the gun controller's fraudulent version of 'reasonableness':

        "Assault weapons" are civilian non-automatics (mostly small caliber), not machineguns.
