And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I've fired a Tommy gun professionally and let me tell you that they are my all time favorite. First of all, they're solid, and they fire from an open bolt, which is cool. Second, there is that low cyclic rate and the big, heavy .45 ACP rounds blasting out the barrel. It's almost worth going through the whole ATF licensing hassle and doling out the money to buy one.
The bouncing ball gave me a chuckle. But like the rest, it's the Thompson. It's probably a good thing I didn't have one this morning, someone might have gotten introduced to "my little friend".
Gotta be the Thompson!
ReplyDeleteThe Thompson.
