I was hoping for more from that article reference Best. But, it's the Washington Compost.....

Agreed. The Post will never write anything pro-2A. There was a definite underpinning of "gun people are crazy" all throughout the writings.

That was a truly fucked up article.

Obviously, the writer didn't give a shit about little details, like Best being in the MC and being in Georgia and"taking a few laps around Talledega Speedway", which is in Alabama.

But this doesn’t account for the earnest positivity of people who view assault weapons as pleasure machines rather than killing machines — men and women whose self-conception is intimately and gleefully wrapped up in their gun ownership. The icons of the tactical community aren’t Alex Jones paranoiacs or Cliven Bundy paramilitary rebels. For Tactical Guy and Tactical Gal, guns are as much about aesthetics as they are about self-defense. They are, more than anything else, a lifestyle choice.

GOOD. I am very glad the article's authors realize that there are certain people out there such as many gun owners that you will NEVER be able to change their minds to think your way, no matter how hard you try to brainwash them as kids or adults.

A lot of us had already made up our minds on how we want to live from a fairly young age and we are just not interested in being preached at. That was a good read. Love how they (the libs) inadvertently admitted defeat in trying to complain about gun owners being hard headed.

We ARE hard headed. Now get over it and move on.

What a bullshit article. Half a book of bullshit. Obviously written by someone who knows little, but has big opinions about firearms and their owners.

That was a really rough read.
