#1 Ah yes, the 60's. A group of us 14 year olds were camping out on the weekends fully armed and hunting before we were old enough to drive a car. Our parents didn't worry about it either. They trained us on firearm safety by the time we were 10.

#2 Thanks for a fine column every week badanov. I like the front end discussion of firearms and the glimpse of the firearm/ammo market. We all kvetch at Rantburg. I guess Fred thought Rantburg would catch more attention the Kvetchburg--he was probably right. Grom's comment gave me a silent chuckle this a.m.

#3 Grew up in a leftist enough environment to be able to walk and talk into the deeper layers of conversation, for interest's sake, to say that posting articles like that is to not only understand, but know the opponent's first three moves (at least) of a chess game.

I do understand that stupid can be incredibly difficult to look at. Which is why it must be looked at. We do it often at the fire department, looking at the oh shit videos and trying to call out, in real time, the stupid. Stuff like, going onto a roof which is iced over, or through a garage door without bracing the garage door, or setting up a post underneath electrical works.

As for Clinton, she straight up told you the 2nd will go if she clutches power. She didn't say it in those words, because apparently something so popular has to be talked around and concealed, but she did. Common Sense Laws Concerning ring like Democratic Peoples' Republic Of.

#4 When I was a kid, my dad (1st MarDiv) made us neighborhood kids reduced sized models of weapons such as a BAR. Thomson,M1,and 1911. Equipped with the finest surplus store equipment we would spend many hours on patrol in the oak covered hills.

#5 Not picking on you, g(r)om, but as an Israeli living in Israel you understand what it means to be continually aware

(a) As an Israeli living in Israel I don't waste time on reading what Arabs say.
(b) Why not publish something optimistic, something life affirming, something like UN atomic agency chief says Iran sticking to nuclear deal

Retribution is better than ignoring what your enemies are saying. And I guarantee you your security services are paying attention to what the Ayrabs are saying.

Not every arab - you know how many professors of Islamic law there are in the Arab world?
