Good evening, Calpernia!

Gun laws are strange. In the 60's we could walk down the highway with a rifle or shotgun to the store to buy ammo. Troopers would see you and pass by. We could enter the store and deposit our guns at the front counter and proceed to the back, purchase what we needed, collect our guns and be on our way. Troopers and constables would see us but no big deal. Except when they saw us with snowballs. Then we'd have a little talk.

This was 70 miles north of NYC.

I don't know what the law says about snowballs now.

Truly, the Founding Fathers exhibited uncommon wisdom.

And I want to see the 2nd Amendment restored in its entirety, and those affronts to it such as the 1934 NFA, the 1938 FFA, and the 1968 GCA repealed.

Right. This is very old data. (Valuable mostly for comparing where we would/could have been if the libs had forced us to go the way of Canada, Britian, and Australia.)
