I thought some fans of old-timey rifles might appreciate this:

Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. -Thomas Jefferson

"There was one of two things I had a right to: liberty or death; If I could not have one, I would take the other, for no man should take me alive…" â€"Harriet Tubman

"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn."
- Benjamin Franklin

Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it."
― Thomas Paine

If we cease to assert Our rights we shall dwindle into supineness and the chains of slavery shall be fast rivetted upon us
-Samuel Whittemore

Lots of misunderstanding going on in that thread. ðŸ˜"
Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery

If you're used to shooting a mouse rifle(AR15), then try a Rifleman's Rifle(M14), there is a learning curve, that most will not put in the time and effort to master it. Then some of those who don't master the M14, will slam it as an inferior weapon, etc., in truth, they probably couldn't handle a BB gun.

Oh yey, this dead horse again.



"What! what! men, dodging this way for single bullets! What will you do when they open fire along the whole line? I am ashamed of you. They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist-"
Last words of Union Gen. John Sedgwick, before he was killed by a Confederate sniper.

As late as 2009 the Navy had a few M-14s on each ship. They were used as line throwing guns, and I would suspect the M-14 is still filling the line throwing gun role today.

Freedom, like land ownership, comes at a high cost, but is never fully paid for, there is always a tax to be paid, to keep what is yours.
