I know one self-employed entrepreneur who had to close up shop due to government regulations, and her business was just taking off, too. That was a real heartbreaking experience for her, but she's young and I think she'll bounce back okay.<br /><br />Meantime, tell 'em to hang in there.

That's all from me on the whole thing.</i><br /><br />Good.<br /><br />Those very same guns that were invented for the making of mayhem (killing critters and people) can be carried without restriction in Switzerland. Shooting is a national pastime in Switzerland and the citizens enjoy it.<br /><br />Crime is low in Switzerland. Funny about that, isn't it?<br /><br />Not to put this too delicately Roland, but you're not telling the whole story. Guns serve as an effective deterrent against people who would harm you and have fun doing it. If you're armed, if the bad guys <i>think</i> you're armed, or even if the criminals believe you <i>might</i> be armed, you'll be left alone.<br /><br />Hence my going around armed does you a good service. It makes people wonder if you're armed, and if so just maybe they'd be better off choosing a different target.<br /><br />See?Mad Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190137186843630543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531929769862216250.post-16851197102242414572011-08-09T16:38:31.002-04:002011-08-09T16:38:31.002-04:00and i'm a liberal.

And you can always have more ammunition.

The Supreme Court has ruled that the police have no duty to protect us and it is physically impossible. If the government steps in and disarms the citizenry (which would be in violation of our constitutional rights) then the bad guys will always get the guns and we're all sitting ducks. There are dozens of countries that proved that exact point. Did you know that in Switzerland every citizen has a gun and is taught how to use it? They also have the lowest crime rate in the world.<br />Sadly, only people kill. I would much rather squeeze the trigger on a paper target than on a human being, but if it's my life or or someone else's, then by God I will defend myself!Older Schoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088287529093072304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531929769862216250.post-33962411358191833842011-08-09T08:49:30.147-04:002011-08-09T08:49:30.147-04:00Gun were invented for the specific purpose of kill...Gun were invented for the specific purpose of killing.

Think you could narrow down your suspect list a little bit more?<br /><br />Many of my family are small business owners themselves, and have found it very difficult to make ends meet these days. As if the present economic fiasco wasn't enough, the government has taxed them six ways from Sunday. A profit, if there is one, is a pittance. Whenever the need arises for them to contract services, they always utilized small businesses like themselves. Using union labor was a colossal hassle and cost twice as much. While unions may have had their place back in the day, their usefulness is rapidly waning.<br /><br />The way to preserve our freedoms is to allow capitalism to reign without excessive and unreasonable taxes. The 2nd amendment allows us law abiding citizens our right to choose if we want to be a pacifist or not.<br /><br />I recently heard these words of wisdom...<br /><br />I called my stockbroker and asked him what I should be buying.<br />He said, "If the current administration is in office much longer, canned goods, water, and ammunition are your best bet."Older Schoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088287529093072304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531929769862216250.post-14171454894752718782011-08-08T22:00:56.521-04:002011-08-08T22:00:56.521-04:00be sure to tell us how it goes.
