I always think this comment should be so obvious about why I make it to folks like Classic Xer. He is so obsessed with what is really not a significant problem for him-- that he might lose his guns or pay higher taxes because of Democrats-- that I exaggerate my hopes that he suffers them. But I don't think he realizes how insignificant and unimportant these concerns really are. I don't think he gets why I exaggerate them.
I remember I said this at a meeting about the Obamacare proposal in 2010 that I made to an anti-Obamacare Tea Party protester; that I hoped his taxes would go through the roof. He smiled; I think he got it. It just makes Classic Xer more angry and threatening. He doesn't get it.
It's one thing to quibble over marginal tax rates that will likely be changed by the next administration if they veer too far in the extreme of either direction. Losing guns on the other hand? That's a very big deal. If anything, I think we should be encouraging law abiding citizens to own guns. An armed society is a free society.
