There IS a rifle behind every blade of grass!
Beat me to it. Missed your post.
Great minds and all that rot.....lol
Heh, heh, I’m getting a little long in the tooth myself (long in the belt loops too, #$&%!!) so I do like older family small arms: wheelguns & bolt action rifles, all made of wood & blue steel of course. But I last qualified with the M-16A2 just before turning age 62 (warrant officers get to hang around forever) and I note with delight that there’s an unbelievable variety of really high-tech rifles & handguns out there with new designs appearing daily it seems. With target acquisition systems to match.
What this means IMO is that America (us bitter clingers anyway) is arming up & ammo-ing up, and there’s not much the Red Chinese or Emperor Obama or even Mayor Bloomberg can do about it except spit & fume. Every issue of the Cheaper Than Dirt catalog just warms my heart!
Arms proliferation? Dig it, celebrate it!
