Good question

Covid was in many ways an eye opener for some, but unfortunately not for as many as one would think it would be.

What does Josh mean when he says that his curbside bins were “tagged”. Pardon my ignorance.

I thought it meant it had graffiti sprayed on it.

“ Inventory your guns! Find out which ones have a paper trail back to YOU! ”

If you are elderly, it may be time to gift some of your collection to your kids, nephews, nieces, etc if you are in a state which does not require paperwork for private transfers.

And if it’s a gift, then the ATF can’t accuse you of being in the firearms business.

Good post. This part also caught my eye.

*** Wisdom says understand some of the major things and use that information.***

Proverbs 9:10 - The beginning of wisdom is fear of the LORD, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. (New American RE Bible)

One of the reasons that leftists aren’t wise is because they do not fear or respect the Lord. Some of them don’t even acknowledge that He is.

“I can [not] have a gun because I would kill myself with it” seems to be a common sentiment among the anti-gun left.

Either way, it is a self-correcting problem. People who do not like or want guns are not required to have them.

The trouble begins when the Leftists say, "you cannot have a gun (but I can, or my favored minions can)".

I have an even simpler answer:

They’re psychotic assh@les.

Pretty much nails it.

What do you think about loaning a calibre 45-70 rifle to someone (liberal or not) with no training or experience?

___________

I don’t think you can read too much into that comment. Later in his commentary he says they will do “more” training. So he was probably given some training prior to the loan. And the guy is smart enough to know which end you point away from yourself. I don’t recall any mention of family or other’s living with him.

You don’t want to overwhelm the point of the article with excessive detail. :-)

AND they are tracking who pays that $1.

[yldstrk]

Yeah, well I really don’t care. I have not kept my sentiments a secret.

[higgmeister]

The tagging might have been epithets about who some thug with a spray can thought he was.
