I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. I would THINK that your mother would be more understanding of this, and not talk with the neighbors about you. I find that to be very distasteful, and downright rotten.

And then for the neighbors wanting to know where you live!! She shouldn't have told them -- if she did. Who knows what they had on their miinds! Closed minded people like that are apt to do/say anything. THEY sound more mentally ill than you do!
And I agree with you about guns. This country was born with the use of guns, whether people like it or not. And taking away our right to own them isn't the right way to do things. But I don't really think that's what they're trying to do. I think they just want to get the assault rifles gone -- not the regular guns that people own. For instance, I own a 12 gauge shotgun -- they aren't interested in getting rid of those. It's not an assault rifle. And handguns aren't either. They want the uzi's & such. So unless I'm reading things wrong, I don't think we have to worry -- YET. I DO think that Obama is a dangerous man. He has a "King-Syndrome" and we've got to watch him very carefully. If we aren't careful, we'll end up a socialist country -- and then civil war WILL become a reality. Just my opinion.
Take care. Hugs, Lee
