I already got roses today.

I think I’ll go buy some more 9mm and .45 ammo, though.

75 guns collected in an hour?

They were all stolen. Probably from police evidence rooms.

Guns for roses? So if I bring the police one dozen roses I can get 12 guns? Cool!

A few years ago I bought a 600 round tin of WWII 45ACP. It still is in great shape, although it’s has corrosive propellant and I have to clean very soon after shooting. Bought some Wolf steelcase 45s but they don’t cycle well (ejection problems) in some of the 1911s I have - I think they scrimpted on the thickness of the eject rim.

Contempt? What contempt? 56 million people voted for The Marxist. They are getting what they want.

Are you in favor of buybacks?

No, they have no merit.
