Account inactive since 2016, now posting again as of Jul 19. Prodigal son, or new poster using the account?

Prodigal son was my first thought, but could just be a sleeper account.

And his anti-gun agenda. :lol:

I am the same Ranb that came here years ago to push for a bill to make silencers legal. My own efforts which involved having a meeting with Senator Wolf (along with forum member BC98) amounted to nothing.

I also got some push-back from members of the forum on the issue. While that was disappointing, it was not unexpected because most of the problems I had with pushing to change the law back in Washington State came from fellow gun owners.

No thank you. 140 miles to too far to drive.

How is eating there going to prove that I am pro-gun? Isn't pushing for pro-gun bills and opposing anti-gun zealots good enough?

What if we meet at Gordy's Hi-Hat in Cloquet? https://gordys-hihat.com/gordys-hi-hat/

You are the one who asked.

Legislature will be in session next year. The lunch happens every month.

It seems that you're being evasive. How does showing up for lunch prove that I am pro-gun? Why isn't my clear pro-gun agenda on this forum any indication that I am pro-gun.

What pro-gun agenda?

I was pushing people to lobby for a silencer bill. I flew to MN thirteen years ago to lobby Senator Wolf. Forum member BC98, myself and one of my friends talked to her for an hour. She agreed to sponsor a silencer bill if others joined her to co-sponsor. My efforts amounted to nothing as Senator Wolf was not re-elected. Is this pro-gun enough for you?

So you are so pro gun that you posted something on a gun forum 13 years ago? That is your argument?

Have you run for office? Are you currently doing anything?

You asked about my pro-gun agenda. I told you. Is there some sort of pro-gun agenda bar that I'm not meeting? Do I need to lobby the MN legislators on a regular basis in order to have the privilege of calling myself pro-gun? Is coaching a junior shooting team, teaching others basic marksmanship, encouraging people to support the right to keep and bear arms enough?

What if I criticize the actions of anti-gun politicians like Biden, Bush, Trump, Clinton and Reagan? Is that enough?

I have not demanded that others prove to me that they are "pro-gun". Why am I getting this crap?
