SAF adds another brick to The Wall
« on: March 29, 2016, 06:04:30 PM »
“Fear of death increases in exact proportion to increase in wealth,” Hemingway once said. Today, many of us have become rich in the currency of cowardice. We have so many things and so few experiences. We are desperate to live as long as possible, not as large as possible. We are so afraid to say goodbye to the world that we never say hello.
-Marty Beckerman (from a Wired article of all things)

How many dealers do you think that island could support?
I needed a mod to change my signature because the concept of "family friendly" eludes me.
Just noticed that a mod changed my signature. How long ago was that?
A few months-mods

One or two probably, Wikipedia says ~58k population, but the main issue is it's one more pro-self defense decision reinforcing Heller. In a place that has apparently ALWAYS had a total gun ban, at that.

So, if they try to secede do we get to *expletive deleted*ck 'em, up Sherman style?
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

We did that back in '44...
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

~30k in this county supports two dedicated gun shops (one with the best 1911 smith in the region) and a tactical range with a custom AR and SOT shop, plus three pawn shops, two of which carry new guns as well as a lot of used ones, and a WalMart with a pretty decent selection of guns.
