You seemed to appreciate my perspective on BHA's renewable energy stance...
I don't like wearing R or D jerseys. And I have coal miner friends and O&G friends and rancher who are obviously correct in their skepticism of BHA. According to BHA, development doesn't matter, just development by the "other team" Which sucks, because I like BHA idea of trying to unite...

Hoss seems like you just want to be right and when someone makes a valid point you either try to straw man their argument or result to personal attacks.
This is a relevant topic on a hunting forum, and a number of us are happy to engage with you but it doesn't seem like you want to have a good faith discussion.

It is "interesting" what one considers a strawman. The topic went from a single, named person, by me, to a small group, spinning it into something else.
A good faith discussion, doesn't involve accusing one side of needing to make nails for caskets, wanting dead kids, etc.
A good faith discussion on Busse, who jumps all over the media whenever there is a shooting to promote his book, and speaking fees, doesn't involve most of what got lobbed this direction.
There's always backstory and personal crap that gets lobbed, including by Randy. But the simple reality is, and my original challenge was, come talk to ACTUAL gun owners, let them challenge your wild accusations, let the middle group hear long form.
I didn't wade in and blast him, after a year, and being assured by Randy himself, that Busse would do it, there was no podcast.
A year later, and after apparently he sat for an interview, I posted, about hearing a podcast. Now Randy could have just responded that "there was an interview, but given current news, I've chosen not to air it", then. Or really anytime in the year that followed.
Instead, the grifter went grifting, until I'd had a gut full and blasted him here, on a forum I knew he was a member of, and where his friends and associates are. He heard, so I've been told.
And, I knew it as I typed it, exactly who would circle the wagons, and they did, you included.
It's a funny world. I read vitriol aimed Mike Lee continuously on this forum. I doubt highly any of you have ever met him. Doubt you've sat in speeches. Doubt you know him other than his writings and his grandstanding for $$. Yet, I've yet to see any of you give him "the benefit of the doubt". Funny who gets extended such courtesy and who doesn't based on geographic location. And honestly, they are basically the same type of guy. Anything to promote themselves for cash.
This thread wasn't about school shootings, you all turned it that way. That's not my strawman, that's yours.
