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.
We used to do that with blackpowder rifles. That, and split playing cards edgewise. And pick off twigs on old elm trees out in the field. My old CVA Kentucky rifle was really accurate when shooting round balls. I learned a lot about twist rates when I tried a miniball in it.
I like the two speed recoil of the slide and the resonance set up in the axe head on impact
