dang...my wife and i went back to Heavener a couple of years ago and it's darn near a ghost town now! all of main street was all boarded up. sad to see...a wonderful little town where i spent many happy times and days; it was founded during the civil war, survived three major wars, a major depressio...

many do not realize that the warsaw ghetto is where the MODERN term of "ghetto" is derived from. those who speak of the "ghetto" of L.A. or N.Y.C. have no idea what they're talking about when the term "ghetto" is used. i once looked at a pictorial history of the warsaw ...

the Bible speaks against drunkeness: "...drunkards, murderers, etc shall NOT enter the kingdom of heaven"...if drunkeness were different then, why would the Bible speak against it? being drunk, is being drunk isn't it? before the time of Christ or now, drunk is drunk the apostle Paul advoc...

wind...it was not a norinco repro...it was the new mossberg. i agree with the "mall rat" assessment and a person who is NOT trained in bayonet fighting/edged weapons/martial arts weilding a bayonet...makes me cringe. and yes, we do have the right to defend ourselves in whatever way is avai...

i went to my local big five yesterday in a quest for some ammo and i noticed a pump shotgun on their rack that was equipped with a bayonet fixed and ready for action. (i'm also aware, and have seen the SKS rifles being sold, with bayonets permanently attached, and have the same reaction to them as w...

i watched a program about barrett rifles: they now make a 25mm cannon "rifle"... :o :o :o :shock: :shock: :shock: it'll penetrate 3" of armor at 2000 yards...geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...just what i need... :D :D :D jeeeeeee...the boyds rifle of WWII was "only" a 20mm...what next?

around my "neck of the woods" (southern kaliphornia) .22 rimfire ammo is VERY scarce...dealers say "it's sold as fast as we get it in"...

when i was in the 2ad at ft hood, we had similar 'strong boxes' to keep SOI-SSI, confidential communications coding machines and documents in. they were easily transported when a unit made a move (deployed) and secure enough that they would be difficult to open by someone not authorized...(assuming ...

looks like fun...

a silhoette like that turns you into a bullet magnet...(if you're in the war fighting business)

nevertheless...a good dramatic touch...

donw

one must keep in mind the mindset of current day legislators when addressing "open carry". most are paranoid, and most know little to nothing, about firearms except they feel threatened by them. feinstein is a classic example. she does NOT want you and i to have firearms at all, yet, she h...

maybe not exactly 'on topic' about the M1 garand, but...it's a fine rifle. i trained with the M1 in the early 60's; it NEVER jammed, never failed to go "BANG" when the trigger was pulled, was accurate (as far as a battle rifle goes), was easy to recharge with ammo (in spite of what was sai...

charles...point well taken...however it is not the BATF itself that's the REAL target here. (IMO, anyway) why is it that elected officials apply the constitution only in matters like that and tend to "misintrepret", don't understand or just plain don't agree with the second amendment and d...
