I'll betcha it's not so much a case of being anti-gun as it is legal
beagles recognizing that litigation could extend not only to the
shooter, the store that sold him the firearm (already happens) and to
the financing agency that made the purchase possible.Â* I'll bet more
credit card issuers will start prohibiting the use of their cards for
firearm purchases in the future.

There is legislation in place that shields sellers and manufacturers.
The left really wants to change that but not with much success so far.
This credit card thing is just kubuki theater. Like you say, once the
water calms down I bet it goes away, particularly if a number of big
chains decide to tell them to **** off.
Like someone said before, where does this stop? Are they going to stop
processing charges for dangerous food next? Far more people die from
obesity related disease than from guns, by a couple orders of
magnitude


Why don't we just ban everything the ATF people regulate and be
Â* done with it. Of the three, I don't know which is

Greg seems to think that all of our society problems are mutually
inclusive, meaning you can only fix 'em if you fix *all* of them at
once.Â* It's ok to take one or two at a time.



My take on Greg is that he has no interest in anything other than the
anti-rule, anti-regulation, anti-societal libertarian nonsense. That
means no regulatory efforts to fix anything. Don't like dirty air? Wear
a gas mask. Dirty water? Filter it. Too many high-powered guns in the
wrong hands? Wear body armor.

I am sure I am doing more about water quality than anyone else here

We should compare quarterly water bills. I end up paying four times the basic water volume rate because of all the added on taxes/charges/fees etc for wastewater processing environmental charges etc.

I don't have a water bill. I get mine from a hole in the yard. That is
one reason why I am interested in water quality. The other is because
I want to protect where I boat.



The water is one thing about Florida that I don't miss at all. The
carbon filter tank, water softener tank and whatever that blue chemical
you had to add to remove the pungent sulfur stink so you could take a
shower was a pain in the ass. We replaced all the tanks, filters and
equipment in the first house we bought down there with a fully automated
system hoping it would improve the water quality. It didn't. Bought a
water dispenser/cooler for drinking water purchased in 5 gallon jugs
from Publix.

We have a big aerator that takes out the sulfur and any sand we might
kick up, I have an R/O system for the drinking water and a water
softener. It is really pretty easy to maintain. The "city water" is
not much better and it is pretty expensive. Our neighborhood fights it
every time they bring it up.
