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.

If I were in charge, by law all able bodied men over 30 and without a criminal record would need to have one of these and 300 rounds of ammo.
Yeah, I gave up on public ranges after watching idiots with poor muzzle control and fingers on the triggers burning up boxes of ammo at "targets" at 50 feet.
Several of them locally wonder why they cannot get a deer during the season.
Every year I go out and run a few rounds through my deer rifle to ensure it's still zeroed and then go get my deer.
Or 30-40, another classic chambering for the 1895.
Now about that 300-rounds. It was Kipling who said that a man could never have too many books, too much red wine or too much ammunition. So more than that, please.
300 rounds of ammo? That won't last one morning at the range....
ReplyDeleteneeds at least one more zero on that 300 round decree.
DeleteMaking noise is not the idea, sir.

My thoughts exactly.

ReplyDeleteIn 405? Nice.
ReplyDeleteIn the original 405 Winchester? Nice. I'd take it in Aught Six, too.

You'll have to take my bolties out of my cold dead hands. Lever actions? Bah.

ReplyDeleteThat's very nice but the AR-15 is the modern version of the Roman Gladius sword.
ReplyDeleteWhy? I'm now in my mid 60's, have never owned a gun and never will. Don't see the need.
ReplyDeleteBetter to have and not need than need and not have.
DeleteGood, that leaves at least one more for those that do!
DeleteOnly 300 rounds?
ReplyDeleteMy gun ownership gives me a sense of safety. Personal, familial and domicile safety.
Country living, sure. City dwellers too? 80%+ of us live in the city.
