Yeah, the D.C. dingbats are convinced that guns are ONLY to be used for HUNTING, not self protection or target shooting/plinking.

I have seen one hell of a lot of changes in our great Country in my 75 1/2 years and most have been good changes until about 20 or 30 years ago. Far too many work ethics have gone down the toilet. Now, if I phone a business of almost any type, it will ring and ring and ring and then if it is answered at all, I seldom get a live person, just a machine and normally do NOT get a call returned as requested. When I was in the work force (20 some years ago), our phones had better be picked up/answered (with a healthy dose of courtesy/diplomacy) before it had a chance to ring the fourth ring. Now the machines will systematically help weed out the calls that someone does not want to accept. Hate to say it but you much younger guys have some really shitty times ahead of you.

OK, I'm done ranting for this day, I'll be much better tomorrow.
