To the helpful people thank you ever so much for taking the time.
Guess I just didn't find the jokes overly funny.

I think it was a blaster not a hand gun but it's been a while...
I read the book in the mid 1960's.
It's the sequel to "Time Enough for Love", and I read them both in the 70s.
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress changed me for the better. We were on a rare family trip by air when I was a kid. I barely had the money for the paperback in the airport gift shop, but I'm told there's no such thing as a free lunch. It was worth it.

Hey, no offense was meant, so I'm sorry if I did offend.

I think your said brush has been painting with ignorance.

Perhaps you meant "prequel" instead of"sequel"....Methuselah's Children first appeared in 1941 as a series in Astounding Science Fiction, and was expanded into a full length novel in 1958. Time Enough for Love was published in 1973. And Time Enough for Love is set in the far future of the setting of Methuselah's Children.
Methuselah's Children is my all time favorite book - I've read it at least once a year since 1967, and can now recite long parts of it. It's the best example of fiction that tells how we were sure the future was going to turn out, looking forward from the 40s.

Sequel, prequel, tomayto, tomahto ......
Of course, you're correct, and I stated it incorrectly.
