This is American as frak! Car + do it yourself + guns + liking to prove others wrong = America baby!

I really hate all these stereotypes...

saying all liberals hate guns is like saying all conservatives are racist

I really hate how politicians in this country try to divide and conquer and promote bad stereotypes... just a bunch of pandering
My spoon is too big!

I agree, stereotypes are not absolutes, but they are also not without cause... while all liberals don't hate guns, most people that hate guns are liberals.  While not everyone who's a liberal drives a heavily government subsidised "green vehicle", most people who would buy one are.  The viewpoint that guns are an outdated and unneeded danger to society and that government should play a role in the consumer marketplace by directly subsidizing the purchase of green vehicles is consistent with the core ideology of liberalism - not conservatism. 

It's not impossible to put lipstick on a pig... it's just ugly, and at the end of the day, it's still a pig.

We went to the gun show this weekend. It was a very diverse group of people, to say the least :)

My friend went on Saturday to get a scope for his AK. Did you see people tailgating at the gun show?

No tailgators but there was a lot of crazy people. It was interesting i'd say the biggest groups were a) rednecky type and b) gangsta types. Guns are universal!
