mykeal, I don't want to get into an extended debate.
My passion is remembering Early American History and the guns that brought us freedom. The NMLRA was founded to remember the old traditions.
Lay a finely crafted flintlock longrifle next to a discount store in-line. Which one will make your heart flutter? You know.
It would probably take a psychologist to figure out why I react to strongly to the in-lines. It might be they represent so many of the values we are losing in America and make many, myself included, fear for our future.
Add to that, I'm old, I'm a curmudgeon and stubborn. (But, please keep it a secret, I have spent many hours and days coaching, coddling and helping others with their guns, regardless of what kind. I have a reputation to protect.
