kinda what I didn't want to bring up but,,,

Thanks for saving me the trip. I might have bought another paperweight I can't find ammo for.

Thanks for the SCOTUS ruling NO_ONE. I knew someone would find it. So we can't separate ourselves from the guvment, what is the recourse when they no longer serve the people?

me neither. I still remember people and happenings but not dates. The dates are unimportant other than to know what else was happening at the time.

I would have to re read the articles of confederation as it's been 30 years. But the Constitution was written to help equalize and solidify the union after Shay's rebellion. But my High School history teacher taught that the right to secede was shaky.

read it turn or term as either would fit LOL

I would say the tern fits considering how radical for the times a coal miners union was

They were all flying on Lookout Mountain last time I was there. Oddly enough the stars and bars we see as the Confederate battle flag was the Tennessee battle flag, that is why I liked it, that and I've always been a rebel.

I'd prefer hillbilly since my family settled in the hills on the lower plateau. That family is Irish on one side, English and Cherokee on the other. In modern slang terms I'm a damned yankee since I was born in Toledo, Ohio.

The original term of redneck was used by union coal miners who wore red bandannas to identify themselves in fights. Later on rednecks were the union enforcers. Check library of congress or printed dictionary that doesn't bend to modern slang usage.

Glad I still have the boy scout knife. lost my swiss army knife.

today, my big ol butt from the bed to my home office. most of the hardware is there anyway. In the home office that is. When I leave the house it varies on threat level and destination. Never less than Kel Tec .32 and my Gerber skeleton frame liner lock. At worst so far is Para P14 spare mag and the tanto I hand made from a file.

They are not "rednecks" as Patrick Huber labeled them in 1995. They are just ignorant. from WV Public broadcasting: Mingo County native, Wilma Lee Steele, is one of the board members for the West Virginia Mine Wars Museum. Steele is a retired art teacher. For her the passion of sharing this history started from telling young activists about the history behind the word "redneck" and the red bandana. Striking miners tied Red Bandanas around their necks during the march on Blair Mountain.

Welcome Back!

except, yeah, glad he wasn't from around here because he did make a fool of himself doing the wrong thing at the wrong time. And look up the origin of redneck. it's not what you think.

ummm, his taxes paid for the capitol and the first amendment. That is ALL I have to say about that

if you are offended by a statue or a symbol, you need to grow some thicker skin. My opinions, feelings, and beliefs are no more or less protected than the neo-nazi or klansman. that sword cuts both ways.

Elvis did it first.

how does shooting the screen help?

I missed doing this when I joined. And I've had oral surgery Monday so have not responded to some of y'all. To newer members I've missed welcome. To all of the new residents hope you enjoy our state! I love it so much I suffer through allergies for 3 seasons of the year.

Welcome 11B. I'll not hold being a grunt against you!

Just to clarify. Gunbroker isn't crazy. It's the bidders. Marlin was sold and some of their rifles are in short supply so the entire line gets a bump. Think of it from a new gunner's view, a non-enthusiast to say. You've heard Marlin was sold, some of their products are hard to get, others are desirable due to higher quality, lever guns have seen a resurgence in popularity. Add in the new person wants something non offensive to the rest of the non shooters and the powers that be and prices go up. there are still deals to be had if you know how to look. I have noticed a higher level of price gouging on ammo from GB but if you want top dollar you want to get your product in front of as many eyes as possible.

It isn't just 2A that is being attacked. It's 1A also. The left is attempting tp squelch any opposition and strip our only means of resistance to overbearing government. How many times have you read or heard that the response would have been different if it were B L M or Anti fa? And yet the MSM is pushing the capitol officer's death is under investigation with no mention of the unarmed white female protester's shooting being investigated. Had it been one of the members of their protest groups it would be the top story. Add in the capitol police opening doors and welcoming the Trump supporters in and see what conclusion you come to. Lastly, I do not believe we need to engage in show of force armed protests. Taking up arms should be a last resort in any case as we preach in self defense. Ask yourself at what point do we stop backing up. I have my own line in the sand that reflects my current physical condition but have no doubt that if my fellow citizen is being unjustly attacked I will render assistance.

This is true. But I resent the fat joke. I'm old and I've had a lot of surgeries! The time has not yet come. But I am sure it will.
