When I was 11 years old, I had saved enough money from my paper route to buy a single-shot .22 rifle. My dad took me to Sears & Roebuck and I bought a J.C.Higgins (made by Stevens). I guess we won't be able to do that anymore if the socialists in government have their way. It sure is different now than it was in the fifties. Different, not better.

Have you read Liddy's new book: "When I Was a Kid, This Was a Free Country?" yet? (I haven't, but need to.)

In the 50s and 60s, kids in New York City took their .22 rifles on the subway, on their way to school. There were fewer school shootings then than now - and today about six of the facts presented in the above sentence would be cause for panic attacks by the gun grabbers, if not actual SWAT team response. Insanity!
