The only holier than thou behavior around here is coming from the other side, not me. Facts are facts. There is nothing holy about a fact. That is what separates fact and belief. What people believe is ok may be one thing, but the facts of the matter are different. You seem to have an understanding of how this works, I see that, but I wasn't behaving badly when the other mod stepped in.
So, I see that in order to bring up a point around here, and make a statement, I'll be required to prove myself. Is that the case? What would posting my background here accomplish?
I have fired tens of thousands of rounds out of AR pattern weapons. I have lived with them and relied upon them, as well as other firearms. I was in the military, though that much will have been suspected. That ought to be enough. That ought to qualify me to discuss the subject at hand, and it ought to qualify me to say one thing is right and one thing is not.
Do I need all this just to tell someone they ought to clean their weapon? Do I really need to delve into all my qualifications? Is this subject really that hard to comprehend?
You let me know if the experience I have listed here is enough to warrant a place in this discussion. If it is not, oh well. I'm not opening my life like a book for everyone on the net to read, just so a couple of naysayers can get their rocks off.
