Prohibition, the real threat of any ban

A.B.C. or Alcoholic Beverage Control board. Apparently "efficient and cost-effective" costs the state and its residents tens of millions of dollars every year for no real reason except for hide-bound tradition. Sounds a lot like the end result most anti-gunners would like to see with firearms except on a national scale.

...it's not about guns, it's about control.

Control measures into outright prohibitions. Behind every attempt to limit magazine capacity, every attempt to impose "waiting periods," every try at extending central government imposition of a "national" NICS test are people and small groups and MSM itself who want general bans and ever more restrictions. This is not "common sense," it is not "reasonable." You do not start with controls. You start with identifying social problems, then propose actions which government can reasonably accomplish and in a constitutional manner.

...to shove it.

people in Kansas did it anyway...it was called "reciprocation". Any establishment which served alcohol (except "beer joints" serving 3.2% beer) had to require club membership for anyone wanting to drink. Reciprocation allowed establishments to accept another club membership in lieu of buying one for their business. Effectively, if you bought a $25 annual membership at any club in Kansas you could drink at almost any other club in the state. It was just a stupid technicality....Carry Nation was from Kansas of coarse..her fanatical influence lasted many years after her death..

...ban fanatics.
