I kind of feel like this post should have come complete with a laugh track.
Just because you don't agree with a persons politics, or the way he expresses himself, doesn't mean that person is skilled in certain area's. I would trust Mayhem too. He has never expressed the enthusiastic gun owning mentality that Sam has, but he has military experience. X Fire has expressed a more then even keeled attitude towards gun rights, and I would trust him also...because he's level headed, and would think logically in a situation that requires the use of deadly force....or at least it is my opinion that he would.
I guess I just don't get, what a persons politics, has to do with their skill set.
