Our wonderful media doesn’t know the difference between the Revolutionary War and the Civil War.

[Red Badger]

They don’t know the difference between a semiautomatic and a ‘assault’ weapon either...............

[BipolarBob]

They know an assault flintlock when they see one.

[sparklite2]

[wally_bert]

All Blunderbusses obviously.

[Kozak]

They can however tell you every one of the 57 current genders...

[wally_bert]

Wasn’t the once vaunted German army essentially doing the same thing?

[Vermont Lt]

Actually that was the US Army in 1940.

[laplata]

No, the German Army was kicking butt in 1940.

“They don’t know the difference between a semiautomatic and a ‘assault’ weapon either...............”

And, it seems, between a black powder musket and an M4 assault carbine.

I’m surprised reenactors haven’t been barred from dressing up as confederates altogether. /serious

[wally_bert]

It seems it was either the Germans or the Dutch army a year or two back was having to use broomsticks due to budget woes.

My memory could be slipping too.

[lizma2]

And they think we are stupid!

A couple years ago went to a Civil war reenactment at Gettysburg. Wow. It gripes your soul.

The more American’s that see reenactments they more they will understand what it takes to be free. or at least some of them will.

[Sivad]

If you are both a liberal gun grabber and a historian
then this one is for you!

[Colonel Kangaroo]

And identify each letter of the alphabet such as LGBQTXYZ...

[CarolinaPeach]

If I am wrong someone correct me but it seems that City law/ordinance is in direct conflict with the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution.

Anyone in that voting district who has any concern at all for the abrogation of their rights should file lawsuit after lawsuit to get that law repealed.

Good gravy I’m sick of this totalitarian crap!

this in a city where, just a guess, 90 percent of the households own firearms of various types .. and where semi-auto rifles are reportedly GREATLY in vogue (to put it mildly)

methinks the local politicians are very much out of phase with their real voters (perhaps a few leftwing demon-strators with some Soroznazi $$ have scared them at city hall?)

[laplata]

That’s possible. They are not in that good of shape now.

My memory slips, too. Lol
