Wish I could help you with replacing Flimsey Tinkerbelle. We have open primaries in South Carolina which allows Democrats to pick the Republican of their choice.

That’s how Flimsey can say “the Second Amendment is not a suicide pact” and get away with it.

Then we have Congressthing James Clyburn. His Sixth district is the largest in the state through gerrymandering, majority black & indifferent to white constituents. He will die in office.

From article: It still has not occurred to the Left that gun laws only impact the law-abiding.

Yes. It has.

Right. I carried an AR-15 in Vietnmam. I bought a semi-auto version after I retired. I enjoy shooting it. However, my bedside gun is a 1911. That's what I had the night I awoke to find an intruder in my bedroom. Much easier to handle in close quarters.

The reason most have to get back to their rifle, is that it has no sling, and they set it against a tree or rock. With a sling, take it with you and the handgun.

It’s not just for protection in a civil war against a tyrannical government, but also a deterrent to discourage a representative government from becoming tyrannical, as well as an early warning that tyranny may be coming when your representative government starts talking about removing that deterrent.

Wednesday’s cop-shooter in Philly had a six-time felony record for illegal gun possession. He never should have been let out after the first time: Today’s Leftist cries for gun “control” are a prime example of Govt going after the innocent because they never punish the guilty. SORRY! No WAY, Jose!

I had some hunting rifles that I sold in the 70s when I decided that I didn’t really have time to make hunting a priority any more, raising a family etc., Winchester model 70s. Before the fishing accident I had several firearms of the self protection variety I’m still trying to decide if at my age it’s worth getting a sig DMR for those special long range shots.

The first time I gave my AR to my daughter to shoot (she was about 16) I gave her one round at a time to make sure she could handle it and do everything safely.

Then I put a few more rounds in it, and telling her to squeeze them off slowly, one at a time.

20 minutes later she was going 30 at a time as fast as she could - hitting the large coffee can at 150 feet more often than not.

It SHOULD have a sling. And spare magazines. And web gear to carry it all.

That’s why God put trunks on cars. It’s on page 107 in the Bible. “And there were trunks, and He saw that it was good.”

Something like that. In the Book of MOPAR... or maybe the Letters of Ford.

***The insane Liberal Leftists who are constantly telling us that Trump is Hitler***

If TRUMP is Hitler, the tattooed leftists would be lamp shades by now.

The mere fact that owning an AR means a liberal will lose bladder control is worth owning one, or two, or more.

“The recoil bruised my shoulder,”

I remember an old article from fifty five years ago about the AR-15, showing a Sargent holding one up with the buttstock against his lips. He pops off a magazine full, and no damage to his lips or face. Try that with an M-14.

I found the M-16 to have no recoil in my military days.
