“Terri and I made a decision to put this deal together [to] attempt to reconstruct our family’s lives,” Rick Reese noted, explaining to this column why a settlement attempt could spell the end of four years of torment and uncertainty wherein the family has received insufficient outside assistance to press on. Barring surprises from the government reneging on agreements to bring the matter to closure, that reconstruction may be forthcoming.
Hey, if you’re fighting the behemoth of the federal government, this is about as good as it’s going to get. It occurs to me that the government doesn’t need the weapons, and they don’t need the proceeds from the sale of the weapons. They are doing this for vengeance and spite.
David also gives us the following practical note: “Sometimes real life calls. I was out all day yesterday taking care of other business, and unless somebody comes over and volunteers to do my first yard work of Spring for me, I have some rich, full days ahead of me this weekend.” He ends with this: “The thought of sitting under the trees later this afternoon with a book, a beer and a stogie after I finish up today’s labors seems pretty attractive.” Yes, to all of the above. I know how David feels. I am in the middle of a difficult move down the road a piece, and the time it takes to fix every little problem with the house, close on two loans, perform inspections of the new house, and on and on the pain goes, is about to kill me. Please be patient with my lack of posts as well.
Mike is in Colorado. Pray for his success and safety.
Via Mike, Bob Owens doesn’t like the tactical aspects of open carry. I’ve seen this argument before, and I don’t buy it but I don’t begrudge the belief. If someone wants to conceal, that’s just fine with me. But what I don’t like about Bob’s argument is that he seems to blame the crime on the fact of open carry, as if the primary cause of the sin was an innocent person openly carrying a weapon. Of course, that’s a stupid position if Bob is actually saying that. God will by no means leave the guilty unpunished (Ex 34:7, Num 14:18).
You mean to tell me we don’t have universal background checks on aerosol cans, sledge hammers and canes? I’m astonished! I told you this sort of thing would happen, and I demand Congressional action on assault hammers.
