Are you looking for a legal definition, or opinion? Either way I see it as being fuel for an axe that you’re waiting to grind.

You wouldn’t believe how many people don’t understand this. Guys thinking they’ll get to use their piece in self defense in Portland, Seattle, Chicago, etc. As if someone is going to bother them between the hotel and the Applebees .3 miles away. :rolleyes:

He certainly takes the @jtrain609 angle on gun ownership:

"MAGA hates you and at their first justification to harm you, they will"

I'm not saying I prescribe to that, but that's his perspective. I'd have you call and talk to him about it but it wouldn't go well.

I believe it... because they've said it.

There are absolutely elements of that ideology that want to.

This book is somewhat predictably upsetting, and it’s why I have “domestic political risks” pretty high up on my scorecard, sadly.


It’s not surprising that a group that wanted to hang the Vice President of the United States, that paraded a Confederate flag throughout the Capitol and engaged in a violent insurrection to obstruct the execution of the laws of the United States wouldn’t hesitate to engage in other violence, at all. It’s crap, of course, but there it is.

Their attempts to “disrupt” (read: destroy as we know it) aviation have fallen quite flat.

Also, AvTech is so amazingly grift it’s hardly funny.

Unmanaged capitalism is a toxic landscape where things appear to grow and thrive quickly, but there's a rot within that can't be escaped. It grows and spreads and the closer you get, the more overwhelming the sweet stench of decay.

"Get rich quick" is not a systemically-viable ethos.

Humanity can, should, and must do better.

Fewer things I enjoy more than puttering around in my kitchen with a glass of wine, oddly. I’m not the world’s most talented (far from it) but I enjoy my halfhearted efforts at cooking.

I prefer Spirits, some of which are splashed into a glass rather than the preparation, to Wine but agree whole-heartedly.
