What If Your Gun Is Stolen

[Liberty]

For an analogy, think of how simple it was to run for political office 50 years ago, compared with all the legal requirements that must be met today. Do you think that some people simply choose not to run because there are so many technicalities that they could slip up on and then be branded a "crook" by their opponents? Do you also think that the people who passed all the laws regulating political campaigns might have had exactly that in mind, so as to make it easier for them to hold on to power?

The gun-ban people are trying to do the same thing to us. And up in Yankeeland, they sometimes find success.

Its not all that difficult to run run for office, just expencive to win. At least for local and state wide offices in Texas. I think if someone finds the simple online accounting and reporting required to be that complicated, they probably couldn't handle the office they are running for. Making public all of ones finances isn't necessarily all that pleasant, but the public sure has a right to know who is in a candidates pockets.
