I hesitate to write this, but I feel I need to. I hope no one misunderstands my feelings or my intentions.
As tragic as the shootings in Conn. were, and, being the father of 4, I can't even imagine the agony and heartache felt by the parents of the victims, it is clear that blaming the guns for the actions of some wacko who held them is absurd. If we are going to outlaw guns, why not outlaw schools, theaters and malls, so the ones who do these kinds of things won't continue to burst inside with illegally acquired guns and shoot evryone. And you know those with no scruples or morals will continue to have them.
The problem here is that while expressing, here on this forum, our grief and sadness for the families and the victims is good and to be expected, turning it into a tirade about disarming all law-abiding citizens on this site is not appropriate, in my opinion. I would rather enjoy the bantering over tire size, age and tread depth or electric versus mechanical fuel pump, or windshield seals, how many manuals to own and read, Pertronix versus factory ignition, etc., which I am pretty sure was more on the line of Joe's intentions when starting this forum a few years back.
I suggest those who support gun control, or abstinence from drinking, smoking, or sex, find a forum that supports such interests.
Thanks for the space, Joe. We really appreciate your efforts in maintaining this site for the improvement and continuation of a great cause.....keeping old Dodges (and other vehicles) alive. JH
