Just so I’m clear, I do think reason is applicable. I do think the universe is rational.
I give the theosophists only a couple paragraphs to explain how their theology applies to liberty. I’m only here for the liberty, not for the God talk. If the author can’t pique my interest by then, it’s off to the next article or a different website.
Most of the time, theology discussion only impacts freedom tangentially, if at all, and I’ve wasted a few minutes of my life. So I support your decision, but largely because there are much better sites covering theology.

Editorial comment: Since we have a change of editor, I’d like to let this discussion go. See this issue’s Editor’s Notes.

Then why not:
The following was posted on Facebook after being posted as a reply to an Email message from an anti-gun group.
The following is addressed to the leaders of the gun control movement:
- I disagree with many if not all your proposals.
- Many gun control proposals do something different than those proposing them say they will. Sometimes this is accidental, sometimes this is deliberate misrepresentation.
- Do something now often works out to do the wrong thing now.
I forward this to TLE to include the observation that it is common for the left to say they are trying to do one thing, usually something almost everyone agrees is a good thing, then passing laws/adopting policies that are a hell of a lot less benevolent. They may even be malevolent. This applies to issues other than controlling the criminal misuse of firearms, which liberals/progressives seem hellbent to achieve by disarming honest people.

Example of a non gun person writing article. Back before the pandemic and ammo drought when ammo was cheap, I was going through 800 to 1000 rounds of ammo a month making sure I was at least more dangerous to the target than the exposed part of the backstop. Serious shooters go through that much at least once a week (which is why so many of them reload.) While I’ve never kept that much at a time, I know of serious target shooters and even recreational shooters to whom a stash of a couple of thousand rounds of ammunition is no big deal, well within their regular needs. Add this to shortages, such as the one we are just exiting, and irregularities in the ammo supply, and stashing “large amounts of ammunition” by honest, peaceful people is fairly common.
