Speaking of Insatiable Lust…

If you think they are willing to stop at collecting machine guns, they will eventually go for your semi-automatic rifles. If you think they will stop at semi-automatic rifles, they’ll go for your bolt action and lever action rifles when you’re not looking. [More]

That’s why they call them “totalitarians.”

To paraphrase Martin Niemöller, “Then they came for the Fudds— and there was no one left to speak for them.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Infringement’ Is

Two such changes would require gun owners to obtain liability insurance to cover losses and damages from accidental use of firearms, and a new annual $25 harm reduction fee would be instituted for gun owners on each gun they own. The future funds would go to a nonprofit focused on gun violence education and prevention…The city would also ban anyone 18 years or younger from entering a gun dealership and would ban the sale of firearms from home-based businesses.

Tell me THAT won’t reduce the “30% increase in homicides this year.”

And now it’s up to gun owners to cough up more money to let this drag on for years in the courts.

Calling All Fudds

State attorneys: hunting rifles are not “constitutionally” protected in Connecticut… Whether or not they are constitutionally protected, they are certainly democratically protected,” Perry said. “As a rule, something that is popular doesn’t need constitutional protection, because it’s popular.

And once they’re no longer popular?

Or in “common use” …?

Your turn in the barrel, Fudds.

Just because Polyphemus promised to eat you last didn’t mean he wasn’t going to.

Speaking of ‘Single Issues’…

I recognize this is a quite sensitive topic, one that some would say is outside of the purview of Thoughtful Money. But this issue does have important economic implications, and from what I hear from viewers, many regular Americans feel they just don’t have a good sense of the facts on this situation.

One Hell of a Way to Run a Republic

…we’re likely going to lose it because we’re in the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit but a strong showing for the Second Amendment in this case and I think it’s going to give rise to good stuff… before the United States Supreme Court in the Snope-Bianchi case hopefully coming out this spring… [Watch]

So, in order to get over the wall we need to climb over the bodies of our fallen…

Double Vision

Trump’s vision for America: Guns everywhere, for anyone, with no questions asked. [More]

As opposed to Everytown’s vision, guns nowhere, for no one but the enforcers, no questions asked.

It does nothing to legalize “prohibited persons,” and if the law is ever followed, what’s the problem?

Notice the dusting off of the old “Chicago to Cheyenne” lie?

And using the “authoritative narrator’s” example (who is that impotent fool, anyway?), how many Montana ranchers have gone on a Big Apple shooting spree?
