    Episode 67: Red Flag Laws, Part 2 Mar 08, 2023
    Red Flag gun law picture
    Oppose this, don’t promote it!

    Oh, we weren’t done with Red Flag laws the last time. Ohhhhh, no! 🙂 We’re going to give you some concrete examples of why they’re bad news. I know, they look so benign on paper
until you start actually reading the paper. Then you’ll see the danger of them.

    That’s what we’re going to be discussing here. No matter what sort of propaganda terms the antis use to try to promote them, they are among the most un-Liberal, un-American things I’ve seen in a while. We cannot support these monstrosities, and I’m going to explain why.

    Yeah, I’m gonna get racial here, too. This will, and does, disproportionally affect people of color, and especially Black people. No, “Granny Goodness” does *NOT* know best!

    Sure, you can trust the Government!
    Or so the Native Americans were told, anyway
.

    On the contrary, instead of “Red Flag” laws that attack our liberty, we should be advocating for what they’ve got in Vermont, another largely Liberal state. We call it, “Vermont Carry” for very good reason. The other name for it is “Constitutional Carry”. By either name, it’s a good idea that helps to *preserve* our liberty, and we Liberals, especially, should be for it!

    Episode 66: A Tragic School Shooting, and “Red Flag” Laws Jan 11, 2023
    “Red Flag” gun laws?

    A six-year-old little boy brought a loaded gun to school and shot a teacher just this last Friday. I’m sure you heard or read about this on the news. Like probably all of you, I am in shock at how this could happen. That teacher, Abby Zwerner, age 25, is still in the hospital in serious, but stable, condition. I think we all hope for Abby’s swift and complete recovery.

    How the hell could this happen? What drives a six-year-old child to take a loaded gun to school and shoot a teacher with it? I know, people are crying out for the blood of the parents, and I get it. We’re going to talk about that. We didn’t have this kind of thing happening when I was in school, and I’m not that old. It wasn’t that long ago. What is happening today where that kind of thing–A SIX YEAR OLD–could do this??

    Granny Goodness knows best!

    There are also calls for increased “Red Flag” laws in the wake of this horrible event. I’ve been looking up Red Flag laws
and while we need to solve the problems that lead to shootings, this is not a good “solution”. We’re going to discuss why, specifically. Yeah, we’re going to go into some detail.

    Episode 65: Two cartridges for hunting season, and the Mosin reburbishment project Dec 22, 2022
    .30-06 and .308 Win cartridges

    The advantages of reloading your own cartridges are numerous. Two of the ones that I happen to enjoy are the .308 Winchester and the .30-06 Springfield. Now, any discussion of these two cartridges usually ends up in a holy war of Ford/Chevy/Dodge proportions. That’s not what I’m after here. We will discuss the capabilities of these two cartridges, since they’re so wildly popular. I happen to favor the .30-06 by a bit, but I also reload, shoot, and enjoy the .308 Win as well. The first segment will be .30-06. The second segment will be about the .308 Win.

    Finnish Mosin M39

    Then, we get to the ongoing Mosin-Nagant project. This is a Chinese-made barreled receiver (stripped) with essentially a sewer-pipe-like barrel (meaning: there was virtually no rifling left). I took this Mosin and am in the process of saving it, turning into something that I hope will be great. When you run across an old milsurp rifle that hasn’t been treated very well, it’s OK to do a total refurbishment and modernization. It’s not “bubba’ing” a rifle at all in such a situation. In this case, I’m going for sort of a “Finnish M39 with a strong American accent” sort of rebuild. And yes, the rifle is getting *totally* rebuilt. New barrel, new bluing, scope mount, and more.

    Episode 64: Recovery from Censorship, New Shooters, and New Reloading Manuals, Oh My! Dec 04, 2022
    Censorship Is Against Liberty
    Censorship Hurts Liberty

    Censorship
we saw it during the horrible McCarthy era back in the 1950’s and the “House Un-American Activities Committee” (HUAC). I had hoped we’d never see it again. But it appears we have been seeing it for the last couple of years. And at last, it even happened to me.

    The Liberal’s Gun Corner got bumped off the Internet, apparently because my provider didn’t like that it was getting popular, at least not with another Liberal promoting the 2A. We’re going to talk about that, because we need to be reminded that this is not Stalin’s Soviet Union, Kim Il Sung’s (or his grandson, Kim Jong Un’s) North Korea, or any other dictatorial regime. This is the United States of America, where ideas are supposed to be freely expressed, even you don’t agree with them! We are having a major problem with that right now, folks
and THAT’S BAD. VERY, VERY BAD. Yeah, we’re gonna talk about this!

    We also discuss how to help new shooters so that they might want to continue exploring the sport of marksmanship. It’s important not to inadvertently end up scaring people away from it, even though we’re well-intentioned. We’ll discuss that as well.

    Civil Liberties need defending
    America Means Civil Liberties, Patriotism Means Defending Them

    And finally, there are new editions of two popular reloading manuals out there, namely Lyman’s Reloading Manual, 51st Edition, and Modern Reloading, Second Edition, 2021 Update. There are some changes in these books that you should be aware of if you’re thinking about reloading, or if you’re an experienced reloader.

    But I’ll tell you this
no matter how hard they try, no matter how long it might take me to get this podcast back online
I’m not letting the forces of censorship win; that is definitely not who I am. This is America.

    Episode 63: Independence Day, Texas Goes Constitutional Carry, and the Benefits of All-Steel Handguns Jul 05, 2021
    4th of July flag firework image
    The celebration of a free nation

    Happy Birthday, United States of America. Today is our 245th birthday as a nation. We declared our independence from Great Britain on this day in the year 1776. I will always love you because you are my nation and also the greatest nation that’s ever existed.

    Texas has recently gone Constitutional Carry. That’s a good thing
unless you’re a Democrat who I call “Missy Ann” Johnson
because of something she said about us. She calls Constitutional Carry “Wild West Pimp Style”. Well, as offensive a set of racial dog-whistles as that is
I have decided, as have many other gun owners, to instead revel in it. Constitutional Carry is now hereby referred to as, “Wild West Pimp Style!” Thank you, “Missy Ann” Johnson, for this wonderful Internet meme.

    WILD WEST PIMP STYLE!! Can ya dig it? 🙂

    And finally
we go into the benefits of the all-steel handguns. We talked about the more recent “plastic” guns, the Glock-type guns, and they’re very good. So are the traditional wood-and-steel models. Whichever you end up choosing, make sure that it feels comfortable for you. Not your “expert gun buddy”, not the gun magazines
but *YOU*. That’s what we did, and we benefited from that choice.

    May the USA continue to prosper and thrive for another 245 years, and beyond
.

    Episode 62: The advantages of polymer-framed guns, and how the NRA can come back from its troubles May 19, 2021
    The canonical “Tupperware pistol”
millions and millions served!

    “Polymer guns” vs. “all steel guns”
Ford/Chevy/Dodge
Jesus, Mohammed, or Buddha
just a few of the various “holy wars” in our world. Well, I cannot speak much to the others, but “polymer” vs. “all-steel”, that one I can help out with! Turns out both are good stuff, so we’re going to talk about the goodness of Glock-style polymer pistols. Next episode, we’ll do the same for the more old-school, all-steel models, ’cause they’re good too.

    Yep, we’re going to talk about these folks. Just keep an open mind, that’s all I ask.

    And in case you haven’t noticed, the NRA is under some serious pressure at the moment. It’s legal pressure from the anti-Second Amendment activists in New York State’s government
and this time, they might actually have a case. The NRA is in serious danger now of being dissolved by the Attorney General of New York State. We will discuss what the NRA needs to do to save itself, and why it should be saved. If they do it right, they can come back stronger than they ever were.

    Episode 61: Who Ya Gonna Call? Ghost-Gunners! A discussion on So-Called “Ghost-Guns” May 04, 2021
    Who ya gonna call?

    The antis have a new target besides “A-Salt Weppenz”. We always knew they would, and now we know what it is.

    It’s the home-built gun, the do-it-yourself gun. The antis want to prevent us from being able to do what many people throughout the history of this country have done: build our own firearms. Yes, this is a time-honored activity in our country, and lots of people do so. People do this with various types of firearms.

    But the antis want to demonize that now, by calling our home-builds by a new negative-marketing term. That term is, “ghost guns”. California officials have even home builds effectively illegal, and the antis now want to make that nationwide. Given the anti-2A majorities currently in the Congress, and the anti-2A current Presidential Administration, this could actually happen. We’ve got to make it clear that we’ll be watching in 2022.

    What we do this time is deconstruct, dissect, and debunk their pseudo-arguments against home-built guns. We did it with Eric “Fast ‘N’ Furious” Holder. We did it with Hollywood’s “suggestions” for how to portray firearms. And now we do it with the one who first coined the term “ghost gun”
California State Senator Kevin de Leon. The antis at the Federal level are using his pseudo-arguments to try to push a Federal-level ban.

    As always, we present a distinct case for our position and argue with facts
and we mean actual facts here at the Liberal’s Gun Corner.

    This is a right, not a privilege.

    The Liberal
or the Libertarian? Apr 18, 2021
    Nothing says “liberty” like Lady Liberty herself!

    “Cowboy T, you sound a lot like a Libertarian!”

    Yep, it’s come up again. It always comes up. 🙂 Even Mark Levin said it recently, a few weeks ago. Perhaps it’s time to have that discussion, since it’s been a bit over eight years since we touched on it. My Conservative brothers and sisters really don’t seem to like the “L” word
especially when it’s coming out of a pro-Second-Amendment activist such as myself.

    The short version: I am in fact a Liberal, not a Libertarian. And here, I will explain why, specifically, that is the case. We’re going to discuss the difference.

    With that said, we Liberals most certainly should be collaborating with our Libertarian brothers and sisters far, far more than we do. Turns out we’re natural allies in quite a few areas. We don’t do that right now; matter of fact, we tend to effectively tell ’em, “talk to the hand” and brush them off. We shouldn’t do that. And I will explain why that is the case, as well.

    Episode 59: Gun Bans: My Fellow Liberals, Our “Baby” Has Some Serious Ugliness that We Need to Address
. Apr 01, 2021
    The end goal
.

    I wish today’s post were just an “April Fools” joke. Sadly, it isn’t. Far from it.

    If there’s anything that nobody wants to hear, it’s that their baby has some ugliness.

    As Liberals, we believe in the Constitution. We believe in liberty. That’s why the whole LGBTQ+ rights movement resonates so strongly with so many of us. It’s why we chafe–at least, publicly–when we hear of racism. And it’s why we recoil so strongly when someone who’s not part of “us”, especially a Conservative Republican, aims a criticism at us.

    It’s just as important for us to recognize problems with our own “house”, or our own “baby”, if you will. And we do have a problem with our “baby” that we need to address. Many of us Liberals did and do vote for the Democrats, for various reasons. Problem: now that they’re in power at the Federal level, they are likewise going after not just the First Amendment, but also the Second Amendment. They’re apparently even willing to seriously consider getting rid of the Senate filibuster, from all accounts, in order to do it. We’ve got to address that.

    How does this happen? That’s what we’re going to talk about this time. We’re also going to discuss what to do about it.

    
what happens when “only the police and military have guns”. Is this really what we want?
    Episode 58: A case for Liberals, Especially Racial Minorities, to Support Constitutional Carry
ESPECIALLY NOW!! Mar 21, 2021
    And you really think we don’t need guns? Let’s see you face this guy and his pals without one!

    Tennessee may become the 19th State to enact “Constitutional Carry”. That means you don’t need a permit from the government to carry a gun. That’s how it used to be before the end of the Civil War and the Black Codes. Constitutional Carry–also known as Vermont Carry since Vermont’s been doing it for 230 years now–is celebrated by some, but it’s got some others concerned. Some of those folks are racial minorities
specifically, Black Americans in Memphis.

    I would like to present my case, as a Liberal, for why Constitutional Carry is actually a very good thing, especially for us racial minorities. Especially for Liberals. So, you’re going to get, well, the “Minority Report” here on Constitutional Carry! 🙂

    We also go into perhaps why so many of us Liberals don’t have much problem voting for those who promote gun control. I think I have a reasonably good understanding of why that happens, so we cover that topic, too.

    Closely related to this subject, another Liberal named “Queer Armorer” did a video on why gun control is bad news, especially for racial minorities. I’ve watched it, and it’s actually pretty accurate. Worth watching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSpB1km71iw

    CNN liked to say, “We Go There!” during President Trump’s Administration. Well, they ain’t the only ones. So do we
rest assured.

    Episode 57: Ammo shortages, gun shortages, new gun owners, and the importance of the First Amendment Mar 06, 2021

    It’s been four years. This is the first new episode in all that time. It’s good to be back. And we’ve got a lot to discuss, because a lot has happened in that time.

    There is no such thing as too much ammo!

    There is a grave disturbance in the availability of guns and especially ammunition. That’s because, in light of what went on last year (2020), there are now a lot of new gun owners–some estimates say about 8 million. And I don’t blame them. You always, ALWAYS have the right to defend yourself and your loved ones!

    We’re also going to tell you one way to help deal with the ammo shortage of 2020 and 2021. I have a preferred way of dealing with it, which I’ve been advocating for years. We’ll talk about that, too.

    And finally, just as the Second Amendment is so important
so is the First Amendment. We talked about this way back in Episode 3, about eight and a half years ago. It’s a funny thing about rights. Very often, we seem to have no problem limiting them
so long as we’re not the ones affected at that moment. That makes it a privilege, not a right, and we can never let that happen here in the United States of America.

    Episode 56: Lobby Day, “The Russians Are Hacking!”, and getting cozy with Mr. Weatherby for cheap (re-upload) Feb 23, 2021

    This is Episode 56, first published four years ago in January 2017. Four years later, in February 2021, it seems frighteningly relevant today in several ways. This is the other episode I was able to recover from the catastrophic Web site failure.

    The now-late Rep. John Lewis’s opposition to the RKBA, in light of what happened to pro-Civil Rights activists like him and MLK Jr, never ceases to baffle me, as the son of a Black man myself. As the Charlottesville, VA racists showed us yet again, we have the right to defend ourselves from attack, and that most definitely includes with guns. Even MLK Jr. agreed with this notion! Yes, you read that right. We discuss that in this episode.

    Russia! Russia! Russia!

    We also discussed the whole “Russia, Russia, Russia!” thing, from a cybersecurity engineer’s point of view. Since Mr. Trump is no longer President, some people might think this is moot. Well, no, it’s not, but not because of Mr. Trump
but rather because of biased media coverage. And that’s true no matter who does it. Biased media coverage is not the Liberal way. That’s the way of Communists and Fascists, not us Liberals. To my amazement, not just Mrs. Clinton and her allies ran with this business, but Rep. John Lewis–one of my heroes–also did. That was really disappointing to me, since Rep. Lewis himself, as a Civil Rights Activist, was himself a victim of media propaganda in the 1960’s.

    Hello, Mr. Weatherby! Even Archie would like you. 🙂

    We also discuss a really slick rifle, and one that I’m surprised doesn’t get more love in the used gun market. This is the Weatherby Mark V. It’s basically the Mercedes-Benz S-Class of rifles. And like luxury German Cars–Mercedes, BMW, and Audi–this rifle doesn’t hold its value in thye used market. But they’re excellent rifles! They’re basically semi-custom. We’re going to talk about it, its benefits, and how inexpensively one can get one of these fine rifles.

    Episode 55: Armed self-defense, on a shoestring budget (re-upload) Feb 23, 2021

    This was originally written and published in December 2016, but it’s just as relevant now with what happened last year in 2020. I was able to recover this and Episode 56, the next one, just recently, from the catastrophic Web site failure.

    People want to arm themselves, and I don’t blame them one bit. But unlike our politicians, not everyone is made of money. Therefore, we’re going to talk about how to do just that, but on a shoestring budget.

    Examples of guns to consider!

    Today in early 2021, guns are of course harder to come by. Why? Because so many people are shopping for, and buying, guns! Now, that’s a Very Good Thing in my view, but it does mean that prices are going to be a bit higher now. So, saving money is even more important now.

    I also realize that ammo is tough to come by. We’ll be dealing with that in the very next brand-new episode. For now, basically get what you can, and get set up to handload.

    In this episode, we give you some examples of why doing all this is important, including from my own life.

    Episode 54: M1 Garand vs. Mosin Nagant; and *why* Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in 2016 Nov 11, 2016
    American Flag
    Today is Veteran’s Day

    Today is November 11th, Veteran’s Day in the USA.

    By now, World+Dog knows about Donald Trump’s “surprise” win over Hillary Clinton in the US Presidential Election. “The Donald” is now our President-Elect and will become the 45th President of the United States on January 20, 2017. All sorts of people, especially the “talking heads”, are wondering
”how did he do it??”

    I think I know how.

    That’s what we’re going to discuss here. Not whether or not I personally agree or disagree with his win, but rather why he *did* win. It’s important to understand why he won. And no, it’s not just something we can dismiss by shouting, “RACISM!!” There are much deeper reasons beyond that. *MUCH* deeper. And we do ourselves a disservice by not understanding them.

    Picture of M1 Garand
    All-American, Righteous M1 Garand!

    After that, we’ll go into a range trip where the Upstanding, Virtuous, All-American M1

    Garand, the Hero of World War II, goes up against that Pinko-Commie Mosin-Nagant! And we’re going to tell you who wins. You may
or may

    Picture of Mosin-Nagant rifle
    Evil Pinko-Communist Vintovka Mosina!

    not
be surprised when you hear the results. 🙂

    Admission here: in reality, I actually do like Mosins quite a lot and own several. But hey, gotta have some post-Cold-War fun, right? 😀

    Episode 53: Why, as a Liberal, I *cannot* vote for Hillary Clinton for President; and thoughts on the police shootings in Dallas and Baton Rouge Sep 29, 2016
    The Oval Office

    The Oval Office

    There’s a Presidential election coming up, folks.

    As a Liberal, I’ve had to think long and hard about who I might vote for. As you might expect, I’m not a particular fan of the Republican candidate, Donald Trump.

    What you might not expect is this: under no circumstances can I in good conscience vote for the Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton.

    What?? A Liberal not voting for the Democrat? What’s up here?

    Turns out I have some very good reasons for this view, and I’m going to share them with you. You may or may not agree with them. But they are my reasons, and I consider them 100% valid, given my own life experience.

    Some of you might say, “Cowboy T, you just don’t want to vote for a WOMMMAANNN!!” Well, if you think that, then you’re as poor a judge of character as you clearly are in logical discussion. I have no problem voting for a female candidate
just not that particular one. And I’m hardly alone.

    When the Black lives matter as much as the White lives, then ALL lives will matter.

    We’ll also discuss the reasons for those terrible shootings of police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge a couple of months ago. When discussing something terrible like that, I don’t need to “be first” to cover it. I’d rather think carefully about it, and we’re going to talk about what we can do to address the root causes of the mindset that would commit such a horrible act.

    You would do well to listen to Episode 40, here.

    Episode 52: America’s 240th birthday, why reloading is necessary, and the danger of Gun-Free Zones Jul 04, 2016

    Today’s the Fourth of July, 2016. That’s right, the day we declared independence from Britain. It is our 240th birthday as a free nation.

    On that note, I think it’s important to consider the freedoms and liberties that we have here in the United States of America. As both a patriot and a veteran, I have no choice but to think about this stuff a lot.

    One of those rights is the right to keep and bear arms. And that includes having ammunition to feed those arms. One way to ensure you have ammo is to handload, or reload, your own. A gun is useless without ammunition with which to feed it.

    We’re going to give you a real-world example of why the right to keep and bear arms is so important. And it happened to a member of “the elite”, or rather, an elite-in-training. Yep. Having a privileged life is no protection against attack, folks. You still need to be able to defend yourself. Just ask Katie Couric. She knows.

    Included among our rights is the right to defend ourselves from just that sort of thing. That’s America, and we’re supposed to be able to do that ANYWHERE, HERE in this country
well, ideally, anywhere in the world or beyond.

    Happy 240th Birthday, America. You’re a labour of love, always a work in progress. And it’s our job to make sure that work to preserve our liberties never, ever stops. And if we ever do stop
that is when we will have failed you.

    I WILL NOT FAIL YOU.

    Episode 51: A case for GAYS to be armed! (this episode rated PG-13) Jun 27, 2016

    I am a Pink Pistol.

    Yep, we’ve done the case for Blacks to be armed, and the case for Muslims to be armed.

    In light of two recent events, now we make the case for gays to be armed.

    By now everyone’s heard of that horrific act of terrorism in Orlando, FL by a madman who swore allegiance to the terror group ISIL. If there is a Hell, then may he rot there forevermore.

    We address actress (and as it happens, also gay) Kelly McGillis’s recent decision to get her conceal and carry permit. And given what she’s had to endure in her lifetime, I’m surprised it hasn’t happened sooner. I’m sure glad it’s happened now, though.

    As we Pink Pistols say, “pick on someone your own caliber.” 🙂

    YellowJournalism

    Finally, we bring you a li’l surprise, a nice ‘n’ juicy nugget from Katie Couric’s “Under The Gun” interview with the VCDL. Katie apparently thinks it’s somehow–oh, I dunno–“more OK”, I suppose–to face an attacker with a knife vs. a gun. Apparently she’s never heard the old policeman’s adage:

    “If you’re facing a gun, you might get shot. If you’re facing a knife, you WILL get cut.”

    I think Kelly McGillis would disagree with her, too. I think we’re also starting to perhaps see why Katie got fired from CBS back in 2011. Shoddy journalism can have that effect.

    NOTE: This episode is “Rated PG-13” for a small amount of “strong” language during the discussion of Ms. McGillis’s ordeal.

    Episode 50: Katie Couric’s lies, the M1D Garand Sniper Edition, and visiting an anti-gun country May 27, 2016
    Just before the panel discussion, at Mason Government Center in Annandale, VA, June 2015
    Just before the panel discussion, at Mason Government Center in Annandale, VA, June 2015

    Some of you may have learned by now about Katie Couric’s, shall we say, “creative editing” to make the VCDL look bad for her “Under The Gun” so-called “documentary”. She invited us for a panel discussion about why we’re pro-2A. She then deceptively edited some footage to make it look like we were “stumped” by one of her “gotcha” questions. But it didn’t actually happen that way.

    I know, because I WAS THERE. You will get a first-hand account of it, from me.

    Turns out she pulled a hack-job worthy of a Soviet-era “news” channel. I really thought she’d be more ethical than this.

    Folks, I know we don’t always agree with each other as people. But fraudulent editing and lying should be off-limits, and Katie stepped over that line here. I’m going to show you, and it should make every one of you mad when you can’t trust the press to at least be honest. Disagree, fine, but at least be honest! She crossed that line.

    M1C and M1D Garands
    Thanks to SniperCentral for this image

    We also continue our discussion of M1 Garands, this time, specifically the M1D Sniper Rifle. Shooting it takes you back a few years, and it got me to thinking about a few things.

    I’m writing this two days, almost to the hour, after getting back from a trip to Thailand. I’ll give you some thoughts on visiting there, from a 2A perspective. And yes, jet lag is somethin’ else!

    Episode 49: A very recent example of why the 2A exists
and finally getting to shoot Dad’s guns! May 03, 2016
    Yes, our Black lives *DO* matter! And we *will* defend ourselves.

    Today is Monday, May 2nd, 2016. What you see in the picture, though, looks straight out of the 1960’s, doesn’t it? We promised we’d talk about this, and now, right here in Episode 49, we will do so.

    A month ago today, there was a beautiful example of why the Second Amendment exists and why it’s still needed. Seems some bigots calling themselves the Bureau of Islamic American Relations (BAIR) decided to do an armed protest in front of a mosque, located in a mostly-Black neighborhood. Yep, these protestors were White. And yes, they did have the right to do their protest, as Texas is an open-carry state.

    What the residents of this neighborhood did in response was just beautiful. I laughed my can off when I found out about this. Here’s a hint: not a single shot was fired. 🙂

    The instrument of my Dad’s self-defense

    Also, this evening, I finally got a chance to take Dad’s guns to the range. These are the very same guns that protected him for decades; one of ’em’s probably close to my age. I’ll tell you about them and how they were to shoot, from a shooter’s perspective. One’s a Taurus, the other’s a Smith & Wesson. Both are revolvers.

    And finally, I’d like to recommend a Facebook page by a fellow Liberal named Anne Weber. She added some important information regarding that whole Journal-News fiasco with the gun-owner-permit holders in New York City. Folks, *this* is why the government shouldn’t know who and where privately-owned firearms are. Anne, thank you for calling this to our attention; I hadn’t been aware of this until you posted it.

    Episode 48: Shooting M1 Garands, and why I’m now “feeling the Bern” Apr 18, 2016

    Two things of note here. First, New York State’s Democratic Primary election is tomorrow. There are two candidates for President, Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Sec’y of State Hillary Clinton. Until pretty recently, I hadn’t taken a favourable position on either of the Democrats. But this last debate in New York, on Friday, April 15th, 2016, finally got me to, as they say on Twitter, “#FeelTheBern”.

    I will explain to you how and why, as a Liberal, I came to this conclusion, and why you might consider doing likewise.

    On the M1 Garand front, you know already that I went to the CMP’s Alabama facilities and

    built my own rifle. You will now hear what it’s like to actually shoot one of these. I brought two women with me to enjoy the rifle’s inauguration
along with its brother rifle I picked up while at the CMP Store. Hey, gotta do your part for the economy, right? 🙂 You will hear about their experiences, too
and you may be surprised at how easy a .30-06 rifle can be to shoot.
