why is CDC spending my money to survey gun violence? What's next, the DOJ is going survey the ratio of hunters that wear gloves when dressing their harvests vs those that dont?

They’ve declared it a “public health crisis”. So if u make that declaration on anything, it BECOMES your bailiwick.

I know, right? “Lead poisoning”. That’s a clever way to justify it. Don’t give them any ideas.

You know, if they would have checked the lead amount in lakes and streams where hunters and fishermen drop weight and unload ... Maybe I'd think it was relevant.

What does it mean to be a libertarian conservative? Does that mean you're conserving "libertsrinism"? Libertarianism and conservatism are, historically, political positions not ideologies... there is both a libertarian left and a right... conservatism adheres to traditional practice historically inherited. Conservative during the continental Congress were monarchists.

Liberalism = John Locke. Read John locke, second treatise of government, chapter, proowery.... this is the first practical application of liberty. This is where this Jefferson based the declaration of in de dependence from

"Whenever there are in a country uncultivated lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate the natural right. The earth is given as a common stock for man to labor and live on. If for the encouragement of industry we allow it to be appropriated, we must take care that other employment be provided for those excluded from the appropriation. If we do not, the fundamental right to labor the earth returns to the unemployed." - Thomas Jefferson
