[TriLUG] OT: Guns

[James Olin Oden]

Jim,

   fundamentalist christian != whackjob

Just as:

  libertarian != asinine

Just as:

  trilug member != libertarian

at least in all cases at all times.

Now could you please use the off topic list and even there try to
refrain from broad generalizations that rarely have any use but to
cause injurious insult...james
