Well, I don't go to berkely and I don't really know what the founders of liberalism thought it should be like.

I've been labled a liberal on this board, so that's what I am for all intents and purposes through the course of discussions here.

I've been labled other things too, but they don't have much relevance to current events of political discussion.

I'm a proud liberal, and if I could afford to live in Berkley, I would go in a heartbeat! Hell yes!

So, you support gun ownership, right?

My point exactly.

A classic liberal doesn't believe in gun ownership...they INSIST on it. Fatally, if necessary.

What passes for liberalism today is something like watered down British nanny-statism.

They insist on the RIGHT to gun ownership, to be precise.

That 2d amendment didn't write itself. A couple of hippies named Madison and Jefferson made it happen. Ben "flowerchild" Franklin approved of it, and so did some lefty pervert named John Jay.

I do. But I also support reasonable laws and regulations to keep them from getting into the wrong hands. And ftr, I do not own a gun. I have never owned a gun. I have never felt the need to own a gun. And I lived in Los Angeles for 10 years, 1 1/2 of which were in the hood in Venice. Never had a problem. Ever.
