I have been reminded that as a parent of adult children, I need to send clear messages of where I stand in each situation, when I don't, I send mix messages to our children. Dad has tried to be clear in some topics and has clearly offended some of his children. So now you see the dilemma. However, we are clearly commanded to teach our children correct principles and then let them govern themselves, that doesn't mean that once we teach correct principles we ignore their choices. Dad and I can not ever do that even when we die you will hopefully remember those principles, it should be easy since you read your scriptures and follow the counsel of our prophets. So with that in mind;
1. I am grateful for our constitution and support the right to bear arms, hence not gun control. I'm so grateful to live in this country and to be a citizen of this country. That we can speak freely about guns without being banned, is an incredible gift given to us by the blood of many people who I believe saw the future of this nation and gave us this gift for freedom of speech and to bear arms, among other freedoms.
2. I'm sorry Betsy that you will ignore Steve's posts, he is not forcing his religion down your throat, but principles that we need to be reminded of. I understand your passion to this cause and mental health. Because this is a public forum we will disagree or agree with you, hopefully you will not feel defensive because you are offended. When I'm offended I personally can't think clearly and take everything personally so I loose the purpose of my cause. I'm sure that is not your intention.
