Sometimes I feel a bit out of place here, because I don't own any firearms and can't contribute anything here regarding the subject.
I am one of those people that can't own a firearm in MA.
(A combination of the stupid laws up here, and a few mistakes I made back in college after Vietnam.)
If I was back home in New Mexico, it wouldn't be a problem....but that is neither here nor there.....
The reason I joined this site is that I strongly believe in the right of every RESPONSIBLE American citizen to arm themselves.
Notice that I say RESPONSIBLE...because that is the key word!
If I could live in an ideal American neighborhood...all my neighbors would be armed.
I am 62 years old.....and the America I knew back in the 50's and 60's doesn't exist anymore.
When I was a juvenile delinquent back in 1965, we wore engineer boots, black leather jackets and duck-tail haircuts. The worst weapons we carried were switchblade knives, baseball bats and pieces of chain.
We made mistakes, but we never messed with guns, because guns kill people. And back then if you killed someone, you faced the electric chair.
But it is a different world today. We have 13 years old kids running around with guns, ready to shoot anybody over 15 bucks worth of crack!
And these 13 year old kids don't care if they kill someone, because they won't get the electric chair......the liberals and hippies have made sure of that!
The police can only do so much....and it has gotten to the point where Americans need to protect themselves.
So that is why I joined this site.....most of the members here are folks I would want to have as next door neighbors. Armed and ready for any problems...ready to protect me if need be.
(Notice I said "MOST" of the members!)
