I don't remember that. It says you're in MA. I feel like I would remember that.

Took you a week to come up with that?

Apparently more than tough enough for you mentally. With respect to hiding behind a screen name ... Well punk, you know my name, and location, since you and I have corresponded outside this forum. That was before we figured out you were a trolling socialist in disguise. If you want to press the issue, come on over and I’ll show you how I got my nickname.

You are amazingly tough behind a screen-name.

Sorry. All my guns fell out of the boat last summer.

The Dems already started there assault on the freedoms of of US citizens they just passed HR #5 in the House and expected to pass in the Senate which the Equality Act. Which which severely damage our !st Amendment Rights. HR #165 which is being commented on here the Dems my attempt to attached it to the Covid Omnibus Pork Bill or there is two smaller anti-gun bills that have been introduced on the floor of the HR that could be attached to the Covid Bill that could do considerable damage to the Second Amendment. One is the Safe Gun Act to give grants to independent researchers to produce a electronically controlled firearms. The firearms industry is excluded from those grants. The second is that background checks for new purchases of firearms be held up to 90 days on file instead of 24 hrs then disposed of.

Just for you CG. "Man up and unveil your real beliefs. Stop hiding, behind diatribe and obfuscation."

Just throwing rocks is evidence of a lack of self confidence, nothing more. Oh, and before you toss in an out of context quote from months/years ago... lets rather have a real discussion disclosing your real views, or just arm wrestle. My guess is you are game for neither...boy.

"The people wouldn't fight. "
It's an admittedly biased sample, but my interactions with Venezuelans is that they hate their gov't. A Venezuelan waiter working in Central America told me "I don't know much about politics, but when they say 'socialism' it means 'no jobs'." It was the same with cab drivers. It's amazing how many people working low-level jobs are Venezuelan. I could see a scenario where after years of socialism, they're willing to adopt radical reforms, maybe with a large zona franca with laissez-faire policies.

Just for Thoritsu:
Thoritsu: "you have never functioned in the business world. Maybe we’ll try yes/no, but I lack the incentive."
CG: Even if someone created a utopia of liberty you'd still be you, but you wouldn't be able to blame your failures on others. It would lay bare what a joke of a person you are.

Would easily overwhelm 28.5M Venezuelans ;)

The point is to declare independence, not remain as Australians. (25 million would outnumber the Australians;^)
Yes, it is hypothetical.

the govt better be ready to do a LOT of enforcement on this one.

and Australia's firearms laws are worse than those proposed here.

I question Venezuela's military strength and power continuity. One could invade from within. But it is a hypothetical discussion.

The existing government would use their military to crush any such attempt. Raising an army to invade is not an option.
OTOH, Australia wouldn't look kindly on 5 million Americans 'invading' (or asking for political asylum.;^)

Boating accident? You too?

what firearms. I dont have any firearms.....

It is a disaster now, unstable government, third world everything. In my opinion a little effort is all it would take. The people wouldn't fight. Then we can set up a better version of what Friedman tried to help with in Chile.

Sorry, I had forgotten your Venezuela prospect. Add English speaking to the Aussie option.
I can't imagine why you chose Venezuela. Share your selection criteria?

Mine is Venezuela. We just chose to disagree over which one is bloodier, Venezuela, Australia or maintaining the US free.

In what way can freezing cold, overcrowded, overpriced Taxachusetts be more lush than a temperate rain forest? I'l raise you a year-round food growing climate, and mostly empty land mass. Is closer location just convenience used as an excuse to kneel to serfdom? Freedom isn't convenient. (Of course, I do recognize that my 'solution' is less than practical, but your 'solution' requires war, imo. Either is an unlikely dream.)

The cost is less a concern to me than the limits, although others may not agree. I would much rather they play all their cards at once. A big, gothic bill would be a great bone for SCOTUS or to precipitate a reaction. Also, SCOTUS has one less lefty-liar to vote, and traitor-Roberts could be overwhelmed.

Given the rational of Obamacare (its simply a tax) I suspect the SCOTUS will use the same logic - its just a tax. If THAT happens it WILL get ugly. I suspect the wall around Congress is anticipation of this sequence of events.

You know my location. Much closer and more lush.

You need a real gulch, Thor. About 25 million of us do. Move us into 1000 square miles of (mostly empty) northern Australia and declare independence.

Amen! There is an echo!

Along with that, they should have to pass and a test on the US Constitution!

Yes, I have a couple of airguns, and am thinking of getting another 357 and/or 45/50 caliber. Lewis and Clark did well with one. Why can we have better ones now.
