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 could bring them to school for show and tell when I was a kid in the early 1950s. Most of the male teachers then were combat vets of WW-II, not the pussy Trans-huggers we have today.
Bog- My cousin had a shop teacher who gave a 'demonstration' in class one day. He put a rifle primer on the shop floor and hit it with a hammer. It blew a little chunk of concrete into his foot, whereupon both he and the class laughed out loud. This was back in the '60s. aka: The good old days.
More than ten round capacity, vertical grip forward of the trigger, a muzzle device, no serial number, under aged. That kid would be doing hard time in CA.
Do any of you remember that little science experiment with an old glass 5 gal. Sparklett's bottle, alcohol and a match? Pour some alcohol in the bottle, roll it around really well to fume the inside, then set it on it's bottom & drop a lit match in. Shot a 4-ft. flame out the neck & made a hell of a boat whistle sound.
And NO kid that ever fired that thing ever became a school shooter. Imagine that.

Anonymous you repeat yourself
DeleteI liked to hit a roll of caps with a hammer. Duck and cover.
ReplyDeleteWho didnt?
DeleteWe used to cut the heads off of several hundred matches and put them in a jar. The flame that shot out of the jar when light was amazing.
ReplyDeleteMatch heads in a metal container along with a sharp rock. Then chuck it so it bounces on the ground a few times.
ReplyDeleteI had a friend that got one of those for Christmas, and I didn't. Sad.
ReplyDeleteBut you could go through a weeks allowance pretty fast buying the 'ammo'.

ReplyDeleteBut it didn't have that thing that goes up, so it is OK.
DeleteI never heard of that gun, but early 60's I had a 50 fanner.
