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.
You were lucky, you got the two-gun rig. I wanted that, but my Dad said I already had a cap pistol, and to get used to disappointment.
But I had a model of the Vought F4U that I'd been given for Christmas; (which was no use to me, as it didn't fly, tho it was nice to look at)- so I traded it to a friend down the block who had a two-holster rig, and we were both happy!
Well we were happy until my Dad came home from work & asked where I got that rig. Then both of us went down the street to my friend's place, where the deal was un-done; and I did get used to being disappointed!
(Now that I'm older, I sure wish that I still had that Vought model, it was an official Navy model & probably rare as hen's teeth. But then, so are two-gun cap shooter rigs. Sigh.)
