Gaining - up to 13% now versus 15% and 18%. It's interesting that the top two seem to be almost identical concepts, for a combined 34% of the total vote.

Captain Noah Cook a Revolutionary War Veteran was my great, great, great,...great grandfather. Noah Cook enlisted in the militia on April 21, 1775 at age 18 upon learning of the Battles of Lexington and Concord that morning. His company left on that day for Concord arriving April 24, 1775.*

It's a shame that the design is a 'restricted assault weapon" in NY.  And the federal judge in the Western District of NY refuses to set a court date to hear the plaintiffs in the lawsuit to have the SAFE Act overturned, so we're probably looking at a long-term problem here, not to mention the precedent that's being set for other anti-liberty state governments to follow.

During the whole affair, the rebels attacked us in a very scattered, irregular manner, but with perseverance and resolution, nor did they ever dare to form into a regular body. Indeed they knew too well what was proper, to do so. Whoever looks upon them as an irregular mob, will find himself very much mistaken. They have men amongst them who know very well what they are about..."Gen. Hugh, Earl Percy

Been voting everyday! A DOM, yes sir, liberties lost are difficult to get back. Those little chips they slowly sneak in eventually become huge chunks. Some condemn us when we pitch a fit over what they consider little "stuff" or what they consider "common sense". As Barney Fife used to say, "nip it in the bud". Here was our little local battle a couple years ago as an example of what can be done...O.L.

..We are not just voting for a concept rifle, but to spread an idea.  Back in England in 1775 they said that the Colonists did not fight fair, that their style of war was uncivilized and not gentelman like.  Remember the Colonists were fighting for way more than the Lobsterjackets could even understand..

Mac's in the lead at 23%! Whoo-hooo!!!  ;D  Closest competitor is at 19%... and Robert in Vermont's M1 carbine conversion, which would also make a nice LTR, is walking away with the "Best of the Rest" category at 53%. If we can just maintain momentum until the contest ends on Friday...! O0

"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value."   T Paine
