Adscam Bagman (interesting moniker, I'd love to hear the story), collective action/marketing is centuries old.  People have died & gone to jail for it, too. Long guns are weapons of choice against women and police, especially in rural areas. And tell me, how has registering one affected how a farmer has euthanized an injured cow? Registering a truck once affected how we brought grain, pigs, and cattle to market, but it also helped us find the truck if stolen, as did confetti in grain. How come it's ok to register a brand but not a rifle? We require one another to adapt.

I've farmed, and I also have a defined benefit pension plan, not from farming. Are you going to howl about DBPs and will you say I cannot have one?

In some ways I'm liberal, in some conservative. In other ways I have a rich imagination, and I imagine the incredible change we have navigated in the past 50 to 70 years. The future is not going to leave us alone

BTW, don't markets do social engineering?
