For the record, I do shoot with two neighbors with extensive firearms basements and tax stamps. Talking six figures easy each in their collections. One is an excellent three gunner. I'll be at an event of where there will be near 100 shooters, and I'll maybe be one of the dozen that didn't vote Hillary. Some of these guys worked in the Obama White House. I'd bet you well over half there would not be in favor of conceal carry, and find laws limiting it very good. I'll bet none of them have heard of MDS.
There are plenty of folks who collect and use firearms that don't concern themselves with new gun laws, and absolutely fine with may issue. If I were to mention "1302" or "Red Flag Law", they'd say "what is that." I went shooting with three other "Marylanders" couple days ago, we traveled to one WV acreage. Two were not familiar with Maryland's magazine law. One had a new Daniels Defense MK12. I gifted a new magazine in WV to one shooter and explained things, and of course that was an eye opener to them. Those three Saturday were pro 2A and Constitutional carry etc. My point is don't be so surprised at the post being railed against, because you are fooling yourself that a lot of gun owners don't agree with those sentiments. So right out of the box, instead of making civil points countering his position, he's labeled a troll (maybe he is) anti, and then sure some ad hominem. Carry on..
How many of your ignorant shooting buddies go into a gun forum dealing specifically with these issues and tell everyone else that they are wrong and stupid? This guy has shown through several posts in different threads that he has a combative attitude and deserves everything he's getting, IMO.
