From http://rortybomb.wordpress.com/2010/06/29/new-legislative-effort-to-get-bankruptcy-exemption-for-guns/:

A friend on the hill forwarded me the following. Supported by the NRA, Rep John Boccieri (D-OH) is pushing to allow firearms to be exempt from bankruptcy: “In those states that allow a debtor to use federal exemption law, this provision would prevent a trustee from selling a debtor’s firearms to satisfy the claims of creditors.” This amendment would make it so someone going through bankruptcy can’t have their guns liquidated and sold to pay off their bills.

Exactly what I was thinking.

If you can't hold your creditors at bay with your guns, are you really using your Second Amendment rights effectively?

Bah. Banks are corporations, and corporations are the embodiments of capitalism, free enterprise, the Protestant work ethic, and all that is good, pure, and virtuous. The Second Amendment is only for resisting the Gubmint. Only a wicked subversive ommunist would resist a corporation.
