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.
Old friend of mine told me a hunting story. One of the guys in camp was young, and new to guns and hunting. He had a Model 94 he was VERY proud of. So, everyone else hit the sack, and the kid went to work cleaning his rifle. Next morning he was devastated. He'd chosen to oil his rifle with bacon grease, and it was a rusty wreck.
Yeah, I do it in cast iron, the proper way.
