I think it just proves that well-reasoned and idiotic are often found in the same package.
But my gun-enjoying anti-state self does spot a distinguished air of elitist statism in Bruces opinion. Also I resent his method of painting gun enthusiasts and constitutionalists with a distinctly negative brush.
The interesting thing is that the idea behind Open Hardware also allows Open Guns. If anyone can mill a working firearm with their 3D printer/lathe then how does gun control work without becoming draconian DRM that affects Open Source and Open Hardware too? Open Chemistry is on the horizon which makes restricting ammunition (not to mention higher explosives) just as draconian. Where, exactly, do you draw the line on what kinds of information people can have, and what kinds of things they can build? If p
It's the Emptiness of a Politicized Life [freebeacon.com]. Progressives have failed to develop tolerance because theyâ(TM)ve never had to confront their idols disagreeing with them. It comes as a shock whenever their ideological bubble has been penetrated. And when your bubble is penetrated, the opposition must be destroyed.
