Speaking of redstate.com blogger Erick Erickson, he said yesterday on his radio show that if anyone tried to get him to fill out the American Community Survey, he would pull out his wife’s shotgun.

ERICKSON: This is crazy. What gives the Commerce Department the right to ask me how often I flush my toilet? Or about going to work? I’m not filling out this form. I dare them to try and come throw me in jail. I dare them to. Pull out my wife’s shotgun and see how that little ACS twerp likes being scared at the door. They’re not going on my property. They can’t do that. They don’t have the legal right, and yet they’re trying.

Why his “wife’s” shotgun? Is there some reason why Erickson can’t buy his own firearm?
