Well if we're gonna fess up, I'm not a fan of Christmas anymore. In fact I dread this time of year. But not for any of the reasons already mentioned. I have my own reasons which I'll just keep to myself. Half Grinch and half Scrooge. I'm a Grooge.

I don't think Mississippi or Arkansas would want it.

So many people want to make such a big deal out of the fact that Nathan Bedford Forrest was a founding member and Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. He indeed was. The original purpose of the Klan was to preserve and honor the traditions and lifestyle of the Old South. What everybody seems to ignore is the fact that when Forrest saw what the Klan was turning into, he quit. His last order as Grand Wizard before leaving was for the Klan to be disbanded. Unfortunately, that order was ignored.

No, but you can by changing textbooks, class instruction and basically never mentioning it to school kids. All part of the dumbing down of America. All this woke crap is getting out of hand. If history disturbs you, makes you mad or even frightens you, that's a good thing. Learn from it an don't make the same mistakes again.

AW DUDE! I hate to see you sell that wonderful rifle without at least trying it out. I'm betting if you did, you'd keep it.

That's why mine has a butt cover.

Oh geez, the snowflakes get offended over anything. Give us a break. If Santa was smart, he'd up armor his sleigh and mount belt fed weapons.

I've known for a long time the democrats were stupid and crazy. I thought the republicans had at least a bit of common sense. But after all that's happened since Covid came out, I now know I was dead wrong.

Yeah, that statue was terrible and a disgrace to Forrest. However, the man deserved statues. Forrest was considered by both sides to be the greatest cavalry commander of the Civil War. There used to be a very good statue of him in Memphis. But the history haters had it removed several years ago. I've said it many times. The worst mistake you can make in the study of history is to judge the past by the standards of today.

Most people don't know that sildenafil (Viagra) originally started out to be a heart medication. But during development researchers discovered this strange side effect it had. It was quickly decided that there were already plenty of heart medicines.

A lot of folks use and like steel cased ammo. I'm not one of them. There are lots of stories out there about it doing lots of bad things to guns. Mostly connected to the varnish coating the chamber of the guns its used in causing extraction and ejection issues. Years ago I bought a case of Wolf steel cased .30 Carbine ammo because it was cheap and I didn't know better. Dadgum stuff broke the extractor in my rifle not once, but twice! I've never had any problems with brass cased ammo. I'll never use any steel cased ammo of any caliber again. But that's just me.

Sounds like it would make things hard to forget.

I have the Browning version. Absolutely wonderful rifle! Shoot It! You'll get a "kick" out of it.

The Biden administration is trying hard to build a back door gun registration scheme. I've received several e-mails from various 2A groups about this. Apparently, being illegal doesn't bother them one bit.

Sounds like long days behind a desk and a mountain of paperwork.

This right here. ^^^^^^ Components are very hard to get right now and what is out there is priced outrageously. You'd be better off buying factory ammo.

Of course, they're in the same profession.

If what is being reported is true. I think the parents should be held accountable. However, involuntary manslaughter seems to be a bit of a stretch. I think the charge is more for show than actual reason. The state is trying to look tough.

Nope. I keep telling you that the half cock notch would catch the hammer if the trigger is in the forward position. The trigger has to be pulled. Now if it were to fall off that table and land directly on the hammer with enough force to break parts, then it might fire. But that's highly improbable. The old, well known problem of a Colt SA going off if dropped is based on the hammer being fully forward. In that case the firing pin only has to travel a very short distance (maybe 1/4") for it to contact the primer and there's nothing to get in the way. For Baldwin's gun to go off, the trigger had to have been pulled OR the gun had very serious mechanical problems. Surely one of you guys has a Colt style single action. Try it and back me up here.
