One of the places that people on the TradRight have made progress over my lifetime in actually increasing freedom is in the area of gun rights. This is good, and has been aided by Federalist Society™ acting as an institution to bring justices to the Supreme Court whose goals aren’t to modernize the Constitution or to use it to end up being the opposite document that it was intended to be.
Of particular importance to the Constitution is the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights wasn’t quite an afterthought, but a creation of the complaints from the Anti-Federalists that the new government had no prohibitions against what it couldn’t do.

ReplyDeleteThis Tranny thing is just one part of the great "conversion". Destroying the Constitution is one major item on the list for termination. In addition, unfettered illegal alien invasion, economic collapse, social & family destruction are just a few more items on the list. The sociopaths and psychopaths are committed and determined to destroy America and western society. It's going to happen, but at 82 I don't give a shit.

Gun rights have been a rollercoaster ride. When I was young guns were everywhere, most guys in my friends group got a 22 rifle for their 8th birthday.
ReplyDeleteNow there's thousands of contradictory rules and regulations to jump through for the simplest things, it's all bullshit

Something I've been seriously wondering about is at what age to start giving the grandkids lessons. Even before they were born, I had bought each of them a BB gun. I was thinking 5th birthday for that (along with lessons of course).
Delete8 for a 22LR sounds about right.
Thoughts?
I agree with you, we got bb guns at about 5 and dad would take us out to teach us how to safely use it... 3 years later we were ready for a real gun and the 22 was a Christmas present we all wanted

My 10 year old asked me what a semiautomatic gun was. We watched some videos of how a 1911 works. I also showed him how a revolver works. He picked up on the idea pretty quick. We’ve shot BB guns plenty of times, but it might be time to introduce him to a .22.
