Well, as they say, timing is everything.

You and me both know that if I extended the prediction out four years, someone would owe me a beer..

Welshman said...

Well, yeah...that is, if they bet you he wouldn't.

As a Jewess in the US, I want to remind everyone that America wasn't won with a registered gun! Nor are criminals stopped by talk, but by FIREARMS. That is why all REAL Americans put our 2nd Amendment FIRST!!

Welshman said...

An excellent observation, Wendy...and welcome to The Liberty Sphere.

Charlie said...

Just a comment on semantics: Ayn Rand referred to her philosophy as Objectivism, which has a fine, but important, distinction from libertarianism.

Otherwise, thank you very much for the daily 2A roundup!

Welshman said...

A point well-taken, Charlie, and I stand corrected. While Rand is generally associated with what we call 'libertarianism' today, she certainly identified her views as Objectivism.

Glad you like the Roundup...
