I was raised by hunters and was trained how to properly handle a gun when i was very young. I guess if you want to only surround your self and do business with only like minded people then alienate everyone you disagree with, that is your choice.
“Politics is the shadow cast on society by big business.”—John Dewey
For 5 years I've been trying to "alienate" the people I disagree with at the car wash, and the dang people just keep coming back and doing their stupidity in spite of my best efforts.
"Politics" has become a dirty word. I don't see our Constitution and its amendments as just politics. Rather, I see it as the Operator's Manual on how to maintain a free market system. We as businessmen and woman should have an interest in seeing to it that all its bits & pieces are maintained. It may be guns they come after this time, and that doesn't interest you, but what do they come after next that you won't like? It's like the neighbor kid who sneaks into your garage to steal an old hammer, and you don't care because you really don't need it. Next time maybe he takes your Dewalt 18v drill.
They came after the Jews,
but I was not a Jew, so I did not object.
Then they came after the Catholics,
but I was not a Catholic, so I did not object.
Then they came after the guns,
but I was not a gun owner, so I did not object.
Then they came after me,
and there was no one left to object.
