The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"......I know that the Biden Admin and activists in general don't care as they clamor for the elimination of the means for private citizens to protect themselves."

"Activist in general" are not in any position to make such an elimination happen.

I'm unaware of any action by any POTUS to eliminate the means for private citizens to protect themselves.

If the old vet had a Mossberg 6+1 12 ga., he could defend himself in high style against two thieves who apparently knew what they were going for.

Nobody who's anybody is calling for the elimination of shotguns.... and a shotgun is unlikely to kill innocent bystanders any distance away as a result of poor aim.

Here's a classic: 80 yr old store owner with a 12 gauge drives off 4 would-be robber that are armed with rifles.
