No it's not. There aren't "25 states that allow anyone to buy a gun."
There
is one such state. "Andrew Ford's" statement is a crock of crap from the
very first phrase.

Now c'mon Ed. Gunner gave you that great list of
states that fit - with nearly each one footnoted,
with all the various restrictions that actually
apply. g

I think what we have here is a failure to communicate. g

Notice, connoisseurs of ideological bull****, how one is supposed to
"assume" that one word in the original quote was figurative ("anyone"),
while another is supposed to be taken in a particular, literal way
("permit").

Maybe if they passed out rules of gun-nut grammar. No, that won't work.
Tomorrow, in another context, it could all be reversed...

If you count the states with unpermited open carry..I believe you will
get 25 or over. If you will note..the foot notes indicated if they
have ccw, if a ccw permit is required to carry openly (some do) but
the ones which have true open carry, no restrictions, no permits are
there.

I posted them with the footnotes so as not to be accused of
dishonesty.

No 220-pound thug can threaten the well-being or dignity of a 110-pound
woman who has two pounds of iron to even things out. Is that evil?
Is that wrong? People who object to weapons aren't abolishing violence,
they're begging for the rule of brute force, when the biggest, strongest
animals among men were always automatically "right". Guns end that,
and social democracy is a hollow farce without an armed populace to make
it work.
