I was talking to someone else about Open Carry and this guy who I could have sworn was an anti-gun hippie came up to us and said he worked for the Second Amendment Foundation helping to educate people about why we have the Second Amendment. At first, I was a little wary thinking it was a trap.... silly paranoia I know, but I've been rope-a-doped before by a liberal wanting to make a point. Anyway, after we sat down in class, he pulled out some documentation on the Latin American Treaty and stated that there was some parts of the treaty that would allow for American gun dealers to be extradited to Mexico to be tried for selling weapons to people who then turn around and sell them to drug lords.
I was shocked that this mousy hippie was very serious about gun rights and felt that the Federal government had no business make any law or treaty that would infringe on the right to keep and bear arms. His position is that it is up to the States to regulate sales, and it is up to the Fed to keep the border sealed so none of those guns get into Mexico.
I instantly liked this guy as he was well spoken and knew his stuff. All in all, an interesting experience.
