Will ABC have a story with "50 Ways to Celebrate John Browning's Birthday like they did for Michelle Obama?
?
We should have our own FR list of 50.
(born this day in 1855)
I’m headed to the range tomorrow to exercise three variations of his creation. A Colt Defender and New Agent, and a Springfield Milspec I’ve tricked up with a few add-ons.

My bad
GOD BLESS John Moses Browning!I have a number of his”Creations”.If he had had a good manager,he would have been EXTREMELY Wealthy!He profited very little from most of his patents!!
Cool. Some years ago, I toured the gun shop which his Dad set up in Nauvoo, Illinois. What I found the most fascinating is that how they could come up with these improvements with tooling and machinery far less sophisticated than the average handyman has in his garage today. A real tribute to American ingenuity.
(Parody of John Brown’s Body, by William Weston Patton)
John Browning’s cartridge fires a-smouldering from the breech,
John Browning’s cartridge fires a-smouldering from the breech,
And his guns keep firing on.
Chorus:
Glory, glory, shoot another one,
Glory, glory, shoot another one,
And his guns keep firing on.
His guns have gone to Africa, to put vile buggers down,
His guns have gone to Asia, and have put vile buggers down,
His guns have gone to Europe, and have put vile buggers down,
And his guns keep firing on.
Chorus:
John Browning’s rifles have put tyrants in their place,
John Browning’s rifles have put tyrants in their place,
And his guns keep firing on.
Chorus:
John Browning’s guns have fired so that nations might be free,
John Browning’s guns have fired so that nations might be free,
And his guns keep firing on.
Chorus:
The angels up in Heaven now are looking kindly down,
As devils down in Hell below, are sent new clientele,
And his guns keep firing on.
Chorus:
I don't plan on getting a Browning tattoo anytime soon, though.
Hi Power !
John Browning's guns fought on BOTH sides of WWII ...
