Money talks, for sure. And I honestly think that money speaks louder than any person ever could.
Politics has always been divisive, but I feel like it's gotten so much more lately, and I really wish that everyone could agree that there is just no way that we could feasibly make EVERY SINGLE PERSON happy, and maybe we just need to try and figure out a solution that makes AS MANY people happy as possible. But we're all human, and I don't know how feasible that is, either. You're absolutely right when you say that compromises are very hard to implement, and it's such a shame.
I don't hunt and I don't use guns, despite by a Georgia boy (my father is a New Yorker so that's probably part of why). But my brother-in-law does. He's a responsible gun user and he enjoys his hobby and I don't think it's right to take that away from him because there are bad actors out there. More regulations, making it a little more difficult to get a gun, I don't think that's a bad thing. But taking them away completely? Despite being literally impossible, I just don't agree with that when I know many responsible gun owners.
I think at this point I'm basically just re-hashing your piece in the comments, so I'll end with this: I also love the pine flatwoods! If there's a nice, sandy trail and lots of palmettos around, I'm in heaven. :) It's been too long since I've been out there and I need to get back out.
