Sorry BENZ-LGB, but I must diagree. Look at Deltacom's statement again:

You might be if you keep collecting firearms!
He who lives by the sword...................

It is a plainly judgemental remark, and yes, I was immediately angered by it. I do not have any regrets for my comments. Regardless of where he lived prior, he lives in London, England now. So long as it is his choice to live there, that is up to him. I personally don't care about where he lives, or quite honestly, what his personal opinion is regarding gun ownership. I can personally come up with at least a dozen different things "wrong" with Britan in my opinion. I, however, do NOT pass judgement on those who choose to live there, nor do I pass judgement on the lifestyle that the said individual chooses to live while there. As far as I'm concerned, it isn't really any of my buisness how another person lives, so long as they do not force their lifestyle upon me.

This is why I am offended by his remarks. He blatantly passed judgement for the legal lifestyle of another individual living in another country. Now Deltacom claims that he wasn't doing so. Well, I sure don't see any other interpretation for his statement. As far as I'm concerned, he stepped over the line and disrespected another person. From what I've seen in response by others, I'm apparently not alone in that opinion.

Frankly, I've always enjoyed this board partially for the large variety of people that visit and post here, and personally don't wish to have this develop into some sort of flame war. Nor am I here to try to convert others to my own political views.
