Who is funding the fight against hunting? Well you are of course…

@BrentD & I sit around camp laughing at all you poor schulbs who think shotguns made after 1980 are worth anything. We basically think of these people as the vegans of the gun world.

Ok real question to clarify. What does “made after 1980” mean? Manufactured after ‘80 or patented after ‘80?

That's a bit of a corker.

I'd have to go patented for a solid exclusion date because some modern made doubles based on 19th & early 20th century designs are admissible in camp without too much scoffing and puffing from me.

@BrentD may not be as forgiving though.

Republicans buy shoes, too.

Michael Jordan insists 'Republicans buy sneakers too' quote was a joke

Michael Jordan has discussed the quote that has come to define what many see as his willingness to put profit over principles

I mean, I'm a capitalist at heart. I love freedom of speech & expression and I'm a huge supporter of equality for all.

But if I am in business to fix your car and I live in a district that went 53% against my candidate, I don't think it's smart to advertise how much I dislike my customer base.

A quote from 34 years ago. His customer base is still intact I think. mtmuley

I don't know why businesses feel like they need to be overtly political like so many have become. It's a stupid way to eliminate 1/2 of your potential market.

This is the gist of it, some of those businesses are big enough to absorb the hit they might take by offending or trashing customers, but many of them would do so much better financially if they were just nice people who sell a good product.

Read this, it's the very, very, kindly re-edited version that makes the owner sound almost sane, but it's the lite version of how he really is: https://www.penzeys.com/shop/about-republicans/

It's too bad, he makes good stuff, but I'm a libertarian and we quit going to this shop because of the owner's pure hate and vitriol.

Yeah, Penzy's is a great example. I've gotten to the point that if a business has any political sign, I just ain't shopping there.

I can honestly say that, irrespective of navigating through the Queen City of the Plains, I have never had the urge to buy a wedding cake.

If I ever find myself in a pickle like that,

I'm lighting a smoke, taking a shot & going out in style as well.

But until then, my pancreas says no.
