When no less a personage than Iain Tyrrell pronounces a car to be one of his favorites, it behooves us all to give him a respectful hearing.
Seriously? A Fiat?
Like I said, give him a listen.

More Guns, Less… Terrorism?
It always astonished me that while the Israeli government has never had a problem with its soldiers carrying loaded guns out of uniform or in civilian areas, e.g.
…it has always been difficult — almost impossible — for civilians to get a license to own, let alone carry guns. (My buddy Dov, who lives in Israel for much of the year, once told me that it was easier to get a carry permit in 1990s Chicago than in embattled Eretz’ Israel. Go figure.)
Since the most recent unpleasantness in Jerusalem, however, it seems that the IzGov has had a change of heart:
The security cabinet passed a measure to make it easier for law-abiding Israeli citizens to procure licenses for carrying firearms, which in Israel is notoriously difficult.
“When civilians have guns, they can defend themselves,” National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, told reporters on Saturday night.
Ya don’t say, Minister.
Took the Izzies long enough, but there ya go: at some point, sanity had to prevail.
Oh, That’s Okay Then
I am truly heartened that no less luminary than Nicholas Fuckface Kristof of the NYFT has promised, cross his little Commie heart, that Gun Confiscators Inc. has no intention of messing with my sporting activities.
Thus we should reassure gun owners that we’re not going to come after their deer rifles or bird guns. That makes it politically easier to build a consensus on steps to keep dangerous people from lethal weapons like 9-millimeter handguns.
Ummm no, sorry. And let’s not be sidetracked by the “dangerous people” trope, because only he (or the “authorities”) will get to define what constitutes “dangerous”. If he means “criminals”, well, that’s already illegal (for all the good it does in stopping criminals from getting hold of guns).
No, let’s be in no doubt that his (and no doubt the Gummint’s) definition of “dangerous” will, with absolute certainty, include people like me, with our “dangerous” views on Second Amendment rights.
Not that I care — at least in the 9-millimeter sense — because I prefer the manly .45 ACP and .357 Mag calibers over the Europellet anyway but even in jest, let’s not give him and his kind the benefit of the doubt on this, because we know they’re all fucking liars, and they consider any cartridge objectionable.
Kristof, if you think that your transparent little platitude is going to win over the “only hunters” group (a.k.a. the “Fudds”, as we call them), you could not possibly be more wrong, and your efforts to confiscate / ban guns of any description will never be “politically easier”.
So fuck off and die, because we’re not ever going to compromise on the gun issue — 20,000+ existing gun laws means that we’ve already (over-) compromised — and your job from here on is going to be progressively [sic] more difficult, actually impossible.
That’s our promise to you.
