@Sam Anderson it was a real interesting conversation. What triggered my conversation with the gal today was actually a conversation I had with a guy the previous day she heard about. There is a Mormon guy at work talking about the shootings on the news and all the strife going on in society. He mentioned how he got his concealed carry, an atheist made a derogatory comment about how guns arnt the answer. So I continued the conversation with the Mormon along about how tension and violence in society is escalating. "Back in the day when the Mormons were living in a hostile environment they left to Utah to establish a community of like minded people where they could live their lives in peace, without oppressing or being oppressed. It was like a relief valve, one we don't currently have the option of. There are people like me who want guns everywhere and if I get in power those that fear guns will be oppressed. The opposite is true, if those that fear guns gain power then I will be oppressed, people need to have a place to establish their own communities." At this point the atheist who had been in a different room stormed in and started red faced ranting about the evils of guns. He had heard only a tiny bit and had gotten triggered. Well the room (maybe 8 people) put the atheist in his place while I sat quietly by. The next day the gal I referenced came to me. She had heard the story about what had happened the previous day and wanted to talk to me about it, and what my viewpoints were. Longer story a little shorter I walked her through the right of all people to have a place to live their beliefs unoppressed, and that we should have freedom of association and an end to all immigration.
