Hmmmm.....where to start?? Gatekeeper I am not....this we agree. However, this site is like a small town in a way. Suspicious of newcomers. At first we watch, friendly but observant. Then as the townsfolk see how you conduct yourself, begin to form opinions based on interactions and viewpoints. In your case for instance, you have " tells". Your verbiage and writing style share many similarities to a couple others that passed through town. One of them had a knack for "finding" regulated items in dumpsters or selling unique items for way over market value. Personally I think you're the same person as 2 or 3 past usernames that got made. Each time learning from your mistakes and evolving in your process. Again.....my opinion.......and a few others.
As for the echo chamber analogy, a group of like-minded individuals often share the same opinions and view points on big ticket items. I often disagree with various opinions on this site. The only reason ive chosen to engage with you is because i believe you are here under false pretenses. I have to say I was surprised to see a Fed use a comment stereotyping a group of people. Yes, I'm from Komifornia....so what?? Many many folks behind enemy lines believe in the founding principles of this country as much as anyone from Texas or Idaho.
I can assure you my skin is plenty thick and you haven't even come close to getting under it.
In conclusion, I do ask a favor. When the boys roll in at 2am for a no-knock.....please tell them not to shoot my dog. His bark is loud but he's an old lab and just wants his belly rubbed. Also, watch out for Boris.....he WILL NOT drop his weapon.
