A "difference of opinion" is a wide spectrum. A difference of opinion does not mean diametrically opposed.

I think, if we're on this forum and are posting in good faith, we are all on the "same team" even if we have a difference of opinion.

It all depends. Some say mags over 10rds should be banned, "but I support the 2a". Others support red flag laws that strip you of due process. Others want to ban "assault rifles" cause they don't own them, but own handguns.  And others don't believe in CCW.  So no, we are not all on the "same team".

yes, we are

The reality of the situation is that we are opposed to a system that has vast resources and has no problems sending in their spies and agent provocateurs to surveil and disrupt our efforts. Petty squabbles are not productive but neither is opening things up to all ideas and perspectives. A group is like a country in that it must have borders and limits, otherwise it ceases to exist.

That's why groups often have a defining statement to help them sort out who belongs and who doesn't. Personally I recommend including the words "text, history, and tradition" because it's a bold argument and also exactly the things that our opponents are trying to erase.
