DEAR SANTA
Please bring me one Colt AR-15 for Christmas.
And for my son, one Red Rider BB Gun. I promise neither of us will shoot our eye out.
I bought an AR-15 from my ships Gun Club when I was in the Navy (price in 1980 $440). Ten years ago I sold it to help pay for my Wifes wedding ring. Dang! I miss that weapon.
I know just how you feel. I had amassed a collection of gallery rifles in 90 percent condition but sold them for the downstroke on a new house.
