An outstanding essay, Backhoe. Truly a cautionary tale.

This is an extremely important work that deserves to be read and re-read.

Wow, great article backhoe...Shooter, did you see this bit ?

What was the "automatic pistol/quick-firing revolver" that so concerned the newspaper? In 1896, the British company of Webley-Fosberry introduced an "automatic revolver."[48] It reloaded with the same principle as a semi-automatic pistol, but held the ammunition in a cylinder, like a revolver.

One of the headlines on a Brit paper: "**250 U.S. Secret Service Agents Carrying Guns..."

Can you believe the stupidity of the lunatic left and their lackeys in the media. *sigh*
