Grampaw Willie, SASS No.26996 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Suggested Reading for this morning -- as we are approaching Patriot's Day The Invisible Victims of Gun Control The essay is at such a level that I'm not going to bother with an excerpt. remember though: the opposition is of two natures: (1) would be princes who seek to establish absolute power by means of a monopoly on the use of arms; (2) ordinary people clinging to the emotional arguments employed by group (1); The arguments offered by group (1) are specious: (dishonest) as they do not address the actual issue. Nothing offered against a specious argument will be of any affect; instead the deception must be exposed; The emotional arguments are even more difficult to address. Today, we're on a "slippery slope". I hope we recover before we get to Warsaw Link to comment

His AR-15 obviously wasn't his home defense firearm. However, he knew it was best for the situation at hand. Link to comment

I'm just thankful Stephen had the training and the courage to do what we needed done. Link to comment
