at a range in Albuquerque today and saw a family out for fun, or so I thought. The oldest son was maybe 10 or 11 and the dad was wearing surplus Nam era gear. He had the boy shooting a 12 ga defender and a ak-47. now this kid was poopin his pants every shot and the dad was screamin at the kid for missin. said he would never make Re-Con being such a lady part. well me and my big mouth had to get involved, so I mosey over and try to help coach the kid. ask the dad where he served and found he had traveled the globe with gun in hand for the Corp, places I had never heard of.asked what his MOS was and got a trail of pooh, think maybe cook for local fire dept.We discussed people who have a shyness for recoil and again he used the lady part word, so I let him shoot my 378 wby with no brake and he did not scream at the boy at all after that. point is, how can we bring in the next generation of shooters with morons like this around

"We're going to have to take this one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily - given the political realities - going to be very modest.

The final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition - except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs and licensed gun collectors - totally illegal."

Never forget
Gradualism is their game plan. Incrementalism is their go-to plan of choice. Bit by bit, they seek power at the expense of our freedom. They seek control at the expense of our liberty.
This should be a huge wake-up call. They haven't changed their plan, just the faces of those implementing the take-over.
It is not the people that I am concerned about. It the mindset that is so prevalent with the socialist progressive agenda. Doesn't matter the name of the person or when it was said. The idea that there are people out there with an agenda and a will to strip away freedoms at almost any cost.

Well, tell us what we should do about it. I don't like it anymore than you do.

Collectivism comes from all parts of the political spectrum and is inclusive of far more that 'socialist progressive'.
Learning what collectivism is and how and from whom it manifests, is the critical task. Once learned, it becomes crystal clear.
+1 on the post, cooper.
Little by little, the media outlets massage the story into............REASONABLE RESTRICTIONS.....No one can be against (fill in the blank)...Right? All it takes is for another 9/11 and we have a Super Patriot Act on Steroids further restricting our Freedoms. We have to be vigilant. Aware of the mindset that is so prevalent in our so-called leaders. We, the true believers in the Oath, scare the hell out of them!
Remember the last thing Ol' Mel Gibson screamed in BRAVEHEART?
Freedom. Not to be taken for granted. It is a gift to be cherished.
