Comments on: On The Fuddies http://www.pagunblog.com/2008/11/18/on-the-fuddies/ The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State ...

That fear was real and not truly irrational. We all know them. When they grew up there was no gun control other than 1934 act and they ordered guns freely by mail and picked up guns in other states. They already had the firearms they wanted so when 1968 came about they were not bothered. The gun control agenda of the 1970's and 1980's got them accepting the idea that guns are bad in the hands of the city folk who abuse them and it was not a bad idea to keep guns away from those folk. Those elderly Fudds do need to be educated that NJ laws do take away their hunting rifles and prevent them to teach their grandchildren to hunt. That their hunting rifles and shotguns cab be banned. Most people are not bothered by the abstract rights being infringed, it is when it becomes personal they object.

Good one, BadIdeaGuy. The only problem I have using that one in public (written) discourse is (aside from uncontrollable giggles) that by even mentioning the AHSA, it lends them some legitimacy. But that is neither here nor there because no amount of lent legitimacy will ever amount to actual legitimacy. AHSAhole. That's much better than GOB ("gun owner but".) Indeed. Good one, BadIdeaGuy.

AHSAhole. That’s much better than GOB (“gun owner but”.)

I’m thinking “AHSAholes” might help make the distinction.

I don’t care who you are–that’s funny.

I have to watch myself to be sure I don't mention AHSA in front of my Dad--he'd join 'em and donate in a heartbeat, if he knew about them.
