--it's Thanksgiving weekend. Barack Obama is volunteering in a soup kitchen. Donald Trump is dining with Nazis. any questions

--hi kids! it's me, your favorite sexagenarian here to tell you that when I was a kid we taxed the shit out of the wealthy and not only did we have money to build bridges and schools and moon rockets, rich people still had plenty of money left over to spend on rich people bullshit

--pro tip: if you have more guns in your home than books, you're part of the problem

1. Good statements n advice

[Blue Owl]

2. The only thing I'd miss about Twitter is Jeff's tweets

Which could easily be broadcast to the public on other platforms — I wish every US citizen could receive these….

8. I Take Your Point, But Let's Face It; Guns and Books Do Not Overlap In a Big Way

Literacy and gun-toting probably have a pretty low correlation, to begin with, though I could be wrong.

How about actual reading of books and gun-ownership?

And book-writing and infatuation with guns?

I hereby designate Hunter S. Thompson as the outlier who proves the rule!

~7 Books About Gun Control To Help You Understand The Debate

~Collecting Gun Books
Has lots of suggestions.

Starting a firearms book collection isn’t for every shooter or firearms enthusiast. Not everyone reads a lot these days (offline that is), and the price alone is a strong deterrent. You can’t really attach the Collector Grade Publications “The Black Rifle II” to the rails of an AR, or jam Ian Skennerton’s “The Lee Enfield” into your No.4 Mk II. I recently went to some used book stores in Washington state and bought over 400 dollars worth of firearms books. With that amount of money I could have bought a good amount of ammunition, a scope, or even a decent hunting rifle. So I’m not amiss when I say this post isn’t for everyone. Another big thing is that a lot of the information I have in my firearms books can be found online through the internet. But if you have a good collection of books already, or want to get into collecting gun books, then read on!

23. Many Thanks for Your Generous Sharing!

Information and knowledge often come in handy.

Sort of in the category of "keep your friends close and your enemies closer"!

[littlemissmartypants]

24. You're welcome. I couldn't agree more. ❤️

9. Speaking Of Guns

Last edited Sat Nov 26, 2022, 03:04 AM - Edit history (1)

Nearly all of the guns used for mass murder are recent purchases What that means is although there are already about 300 million guns in America just bringing back the Brady bill that George W. Bush allowed to expire would make a huge dent in the gun deaths in America. The Brady Bill would only need a couple of tweaks to add language to add bump-stocks to the list of prohibited. Items.

13. Thanks for the copy-paste so I don't have to click in the cesspool of murder manifestos. . . nt

[erronis]

16. Agree. The less I have to have any twitter content in my web browser, the better.

I added the firefox extension "block site" which does a very good job of keeping twitter out. Other extensions for facebook, etc.

17. Do Bibles count as books?

Asking for a friend.

[soldierant]

20. I'm going to go out on a limb here

and say yes, but only up to 2 per person (3 if one is in Greek or Hebrew.) If you need more than two translations, you're wither looking for weasel words or usng them as home decor, not books.

[plimsoll]

22. Not necessarily.

I have about a Latin vulgate a KGV, several modern translations and there's a Greek and English version somewhere. I find the discrepancies fascinating, but then I like asking people to show me those seven last words of Christ and stick to only 1 Gospel.

[soldierant]

25. Good point. Yes, that would be another exception -

in the scholarly category.

19. Ahhhh, nothing tastes so good as my morning coffee and reading Jeff Tiedrich's bits of sagely

advice and/or on-the-spot commentaries.
