Our Founders were aware of the importance of an armed citizenry, not only for individual protection, but for protection from an oppressive government.

Looks like a good weapon. But, a pistol is not the first choice for protection from an oppressive government. A 120 mm cannon would be good, but failing that, a center fire rifle is the weapon of choice. I think a full power cartridge is best, even if only in a bolt action. I really don't understand the politician's fascination with Ugly Black guns, mostly having "intermediate power cartridges", such as 7.62x39 or 5.56x41.

Of course I have an Ugly Black gun that is chambered for 7.62x51, a full power cartridge, but which is still semiautomatic, and has a standard magazine capacity of 20 rounds. Best of both worlds, IMHO.

I have never publicly said what I own, but this is my first handgun. :)
