    Am I the only one bothered by the gun not fitting in the book?

      No, you’re not alone. But simple solution: disassemble the hand gun and put it in there. You can make it fit. When they come for you, dont worry. They will wait for you to reassemble it no problem

        No, you ain’t going to disassemble that revolver to make it smaller. That frame and barrel ain’t coming apart without a proper barrel wrench and heavy vise or cutting torch…

        So you either need a small revolver or a much bigger book.

          No, its okay. Just cut the metal if it doesn’t fit. When you reassemble I suggest using super glue. It has worked like a charm for me in the past

        Or my solution. Hide it in an old CompTIA book. Big enough, no loss and DOGE proves it’s safe

      This meme doesn’t work because a conservative literally bought me a copy of that book and it’s infantile.

      This book is titled “Basic Economics” because Sowel is a troll, and the economics in his book are largely correct but incomplete to the point of misinforming people. This is an incredibly “conservative” book through-and-through.

        It’s correct in a bourgeois friendly way, in that it aligns with existing liberal economics. The problem is immediately apparent upon reading liberal economics, though, as invariably there is a distinct urge towards the futility of study, or the supernatural benefits of market mechanics above all. Bourgeois economists are closer to priests justifying the unrestrained tyranny of Capital over Man, when its the historic duty of the proletariat to wrest that control back and firmly reign in Capital, to be bent to our will. We must know more, learn the unlearned, know the unknown, to do so. Marx was the first to truly completely take on such a task.

        Sowell is just one such priest of liberalism, an especially useful one in that he is allegedly ex-Marxist. This combination of “abandoning leftist economics for real economics” results in quite a common book to throw in the faces of those that get too uppity towards the status quo.

          He is a former Marxist?? I find that bewildering, hilarious, and doubtful.

          I think it’s great when people have open enough minds to radically rethink their beliefs, but I hope I’m never so brainrotted as to somehow strawman my own former beliefs.

            Pretty sure it’s either one big grift, or he was never much of a Marxist in the first place.

    Not American and out of the loop, is MAGA threatening to take people’s guns??? Didn’t have that one on my bingo card, I thought MAGA held access to guns in higher regard than access to water.

      they want to keep THEIR guns, but you shouldn’t have a gun. If you aren’t the right kind of American the second amendment doesn’t apply to you. Remember the first gun law the U.S. ever had was one to keep freed slaves from owning one.

    The best way to stop MAGA from seizing your guns is to use them when they come for them. One of them might eventually get them, but the first 10 won’t!

    a parody edit of a stonetoss cartoon: a reactionary in a library smugly tells someone to "read basic economics", pulling the book "Basic Economics" from the shelves. Behind them, an equally smug Marxist retorts "Already have.", pulling a book labelled "Advanced economics" from further up the shelf.
