Found on facebook:
Those were the “assault” rifles of the day. Pretty much went out of style by the Civil War. According to one Civil War documentary, a Southerner was heard to say, “Those damn Yankees and their repeating rifles. Load once on Sunday and shoot all week.”
Dear Congress,
Disarming the people is evil.
Don’t be evil.
Sincerely,
The People
Short, sweet and to the point...
Dang, gotta go. I’ll check back later. Why do I have a social commitment right when you start a great thread?
Got some really dark hands he does! lol
Farmer’s tan?
Not a bad idea. Just might print that out to followup the orange postcards RMGO had me send to my state congress critters. It could be printed on paper to put in envelopes to accompany other letters to any/all congress critters and on card stock to make my own postcard mailings.
I hope America will return to the Constitutional perspectives. In regards to things like creww served weapons like machine guns and cannon, the first cannon used by the Continental Army were private cannon, owned by citizens.
in that light, how can BATF restrict my ownership of cannon, machine guns, etc.
Oh, lest I forget, America’s first warships were armed commercial ships. By that view, were Bill Gates desirous of buying a nuclear carrier group (he can afford one), he should be able to so do.
I’d bet that would cause some hyperventilation at BATF!
In closing, who would you trust with a carrier group, Gates or Obama?
;-)
The only problem is, this time the aggressors have drones armed with hellfire missiles with much practice in Pakistan.
A government that can't even require people on public assistance to be drug tested wants to make my owning of a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds illegal.
Really!
Are there any in Washington DC who aren't total idiots?
Many don't know or won't say that, while there were several issues that the colonists held the King in contempt for over several years, the final catalyst that launched the Revolutionary War was an effort to confiscate weapons and ammunition that colonists had begun to store for local militias.
Paul Revere (and many others) got intelligence about the Brits (Redcoats) that were coming to Concord to find and confiscate arms. They alerted the countryside in an organized an effort to show that they would not stand by and let them do it. Some writings indicate that the colonists did not anticipate there would be a fire fight. Instead, they expected the show of massive resistance would change the mind of the British commander. The first skirmish (shot heard around the world) was a route. The Brits killed 10s of men and the colonists retreated. The battle over the next few days turned out decidedly different as militia men from all over the area lined British escape routes and cut down the Brits as they, out of ammunition and supplies, tried to escape back to the city. The Brits endured a gauntlet of gorilla attacks and hundreds died trying to escape.
That's the history lesson for today.
The turkey fits right in.
I still adhere to that philosophy.
That is no problem. I have two nephews that are military, they’re on our side, as is most of the military, and they’d bring US some drones, if needed’
I was discussing this subject with a lib one day who was convinced that all of us could be taken out with guided missiles and “smart” bombs. I just asked him how he knew I didn’t live in the apartment under his, as we were communicating via internet. He went away...
That’s a PROMISE!
My Brother In Arms, R I P. We will NOT let your death be in vain. Like you, we are on the side of Righteousness, so we cannot Fail. God Bless America, Have Faith.
The bravery of those audacious men on Lexington Green still stands as one of the most incredible events in American history.
They knew full well that a company of the most ferocious soldiers on Earth were marching toward them. Yet still they stood there, with guns in hand, in defiance of their king and his redcoats. If they weren’t shot down where they stood, they would surely hang for their treason. And still they stood their ground. Amazing!
There is another “Lexington Moment” coming. Count on it.
Well, you could always try this:

If it works, pass it on.
Or, identify the lib and report his address as acting suspiciously and having seen him with an "outlawed gun".
