You Need An Interest Group For Everything

author Posted by:Sebastian on date Aug 5th, 2009 | filed Filed under: Government

Megan McArdle is lamenting that her hobby of book collecting has been outlawed by Congress.  That’s one of the major reasons many of us do what we do here in the gun blogosphere.  No hobby is safe.  It seems you need an interest group to lobby for your right to do anything these days.   Somehow I don’t think this is what the founders had in mind when they created a federal government of limited and enumerated powers.

    I have a climate controlled garage that I’d donate to any local second hand bookseller to store their ‘illicit’ stock. And not ask for a dime once the law is overturned by common sense.
