Hello Mark. I am F.

Hello Mark. I am F. Allen Norman, publisher of the Alexandria Daily Poop and "handgunner" on Justintv.com. Also I blog as
"Alexcabbie" on the
Opencarry.org website. It is from the Opencarry.org website that I learned of your blog and your videos showing the talking pistol rejoicing in firearms deaths.
I have expressed to my fellows my belief that your heart is in the right place. None of the firearm owners I know is sitting on the edge of his chair waiting for an opportunity to take a life. In fact, we avoid situations - if reasonably possible - where we might have to use deadly force. But I carry a firearm, and if I had been at Virginia Tech the slaughter would have stopped with me had the killer confronted me. Killers prefer "soft targets". So for that matter do those who rob and rape. I have no doubt the a-hole who shot up the Holocaust Museum in DC thought he was going into a "soft target" and did not know there were armed security personnel.
Of particular interest to me was your take on "gringo guns"; a canard if ever there was one. Fully automatic weapons are not "cheaply available" in the United States and furthermore the drug cartels would not be able to buy them if only the USA would permit the production and sale - think tax benefits too - of marijuana; which we can grow better cultivars of than anyone in the world.
All this stuff and more is addressed in the Opencarry.org forum. Become a mamber and identify yourself. If the opportunity is there almost any of us would love to take you to the range for an afternoon of shooting and discussion; and you may be hearing from some of my bretherin shortly. Come to OCDO and speak to us, Mark. We would love to hear from you.
