[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 5484999, member: 22662"] When does it stop? I think it stops only when the parties figure out that their own extreme wings are causing their problems. Or when the two party system is broken and other parties enter the fray. And at the root of that is individuals’ lack of understanding others’ point of view on matters. In my own case, I’ve often been called “anti gun”. The past few months have blown that idea out of the water, but that’s not to say I’m against gun control at all. I just think that gun control advocates are making laws that don’t address the problems and people who a rabidly against gun control simply mock the other side. That really gets us nowhere. My own belief is that basic firearms training should be mandatory. Last statistic I heard was that only 1% of gun owners ever had any formal training. That’s insane to me. I know this is completely off topic but I think it illustrates just how ridiculous the parties have become and how there could be very real solutions in the middle. And the middle weds to become so attractive to politicians that they shun the extremes of their own party rather than “those across the aisle”. [/QUOTE]
