I wanted to apologize for yesterday. I posted this, went and took a shit, and when I refreshed the page it had 50 replies and had been locked. How it was received was not how it was intended. I came in swinging and trying to bust people's balls, but I guess I need to establish myself before doing that.

The background for this is that many of the discussions I see on here remind me a lot of the "Thanksgiving" discussions I have with my dad. He is a very mainstream right wing guy, and I am decidedly more libertarian. I think if I had phrased it in this way it would have been a lot less upsetting.

A little about me. I am a tanker, and it is in fact the best job I have ever had. I grew up bowhunting whitetail south of Atlanta and have shot guns since I was little. I bought my first AR, a DDM4V5, after graduating college and I love shooting. I found ARFCOM a while back and I love it, my wife said the other day "All you do all day is look at pictures of guns, stop torturing yourself." Nope.  

So I apologize for what I said and how it came off, and would take it back if I could. I hope people will forget this in time. I am the furthest thing from a troll, and am absolutely not a reincarnation of some long dead asshole.

1. Right-wing republicans- Practically all of the old people, most of the LE guys, and many of the military guys. If you are military and old, guaranteed you are here
A. Says things like: "Is it radical to support the constitution?" "Men and women have died fighting for our freedom..." "Judges are too easy on criminals and too hard on the police..." "Why don't we just build a wall?" "Disrespecting the American flag should be a crime" "The Patriot Act and the NSA helps stop terrorists..." "Edward Snowden is a traitor..."
B. You are on ARFCOM bc you grew up with guns, and made the jump to ARs either through your LE/Military job or around 2000. Before that you only had bolt guns bc "ARs are inaccurate." You think the 2nd amendment is the most important in the bill of rights.

2. Libertarians of different flavors- Some hard, some soft, some minarchist, some anarchist. Practically all of the young people, some of the LE guys, many of the military guys.
A. Says things like: "Why don't we legalize marijuana?" "Police have too much power..." "Iraq was a stupid war..." "The federal reserve x & y..." "The TSA is an abomination..." "I think the Constitution is overrated..."
B. You are on ARFCOM because you grew up with bolt guns and maybe a Marlin .22, but like ARs bc you are convinced that there is going to be a revolution and you are going to need it for fighting in it.
C. You were introduced to libertarianism by Ron Paul, but pretend you have been around it for a lot longer.

It's unsafe to make any assumptions here. They will inevitably be wrong. The only exception to this rule is "Them". If you've really lurked here as long as all that, you know who they are. You can always depend on them to live up the stereotype.

So, you came here and basically made a bunch of accusations about the members and got piled on for it? WTF did you expect?

I have no idea what you are trying to convey but I accept your apology. Now that I have gotten that out of the way I am going to go have a good cry.

Apology threads generally result in some asshattery. Just he name of the game. Roll with the punches and it will all blow over eventually.


Deej really does remember everything, though.

If you started a thread on here with your first post and it was locked your probably headed for some type of legendary status here.

I have never made a mistake, so I am unsure of what this "apology" thing is. But o.k., accepted. Surviving in GD is like kicking out your windshield, wrapping your car in chicken wire with a railroad tie for a bumper and then gunning it.

I kind of feel like this too honestly. I didn't even insult anyone's gf/wife/mother/dog or anything. But I guess a double digit post count kind of flips a switch for some people. Not that I shouldn't have said what I said differently, but that's part of why I was taken aback, I got back and

But whatever everything I said above here stands. BTW me and my tank, my beautiful precious tank.
