Soviet Jewelry?

"Why should I care about Soviet Jewelry?  And why is the Supreme Court ruling on the Deaf Penaltly, and violins on TV?"

This local citizen apparently figured out how to get a letter to the editor off to my local fishwrap, the Warshington Post.

Bottom line, he is upset that he can buy guns.  And even take em to church in Virginia.  But he's not allowed to play online poker anymore.  And the two unrelated issues get compared and contrasted, and dammit, WHY can he do stuff he doesn't wanna and not do stuff he does?

Yeah yeah.

I don't know, buddy, I don't know.

On a similar note.  There is a Gambler's Anonynous, but I am having trouble finding a real Gun Collector's Anonymous...

Though I am surprized there aren't any Spouses of Gun Collectors support groups.

Yeah, but it's be the same support group as the guy with 2 Bass Boats, or the anvil collector (I know 2 of those...) or the Beanie Baby enthusiast.

Gun owners pay taxes, too. The biggest issue for the on-line poker crowd has been their ability to dodge paying taxes if and when they win any money. Play at a casino and you get taxed on your winnings. Pay on-line and you only pay if you're honest, and sadly, many of them aren't.

Gun owners don't have this issue. We're just the straw man to this liberal.

Anvil collectors? I didn't know such people existed, but I can certainly see their spouses needing support groups.

Isn't buying on gun broker gambling online and buying guns at the same time? /rimshot
