Bullet casting and Democraps love of PRIOR RESTRAINTS!

[Adam Helmer]

Today I casted about 1,000 bullets on a lovely Autumn afternoon here on the farm. I recalled back to the Autumn of 1975 when I resided in New Hampshire. I set up two sawhorses and a 4' X 8' sheet of plywood in my driveway on a Sunday afternoon and used my Coleman stove and lead pot to make bullets. NH is the First in the Nation for Presenditial votes and we had folks coming by everyday hawking various candidates.

About 2:00 p.m. a fellow walked down my side of Wheeler Avenue while a woman was on the other side of the street knocking on doors and handing out literature. The fellow was hawking for Jimmy Carter and had a Southern drawl. He looked at my set up and asked me what I was doing. I told him, "casting bullets." He never saw the process before and asked, "I assume you have the necessary license and permit for this?" I asked, "What permits?" He said, "Well, there are hundreds of bullets there on your table and that COULD be hundreds of dead people. The government needs to know who is making bullets."

I told him, "that is hundreds of holes in paper targets and the government has no damned right to know who casts bullets!" He replied, "But you could kill hundreds of people with those bullets." I said, "Why not have the government arrest me for rape because I have the EQUIPMENT for that as well." He just shook his head and walked on.

The Liberals fondly believe IF they pass enough laws (Prior Restraints) they will make the world safe. Us Conservatives believe in Subsequent Punishments for the wrongdoers and leave the majority alone!
