We didn't have the gun crimes we do now until the nation became more liberal. That's a fact. The second amendment doesn't need gutting. You and your fellow Marxists do.Bruce » 18 Aug 2023, 3:51 am » wrote: ↑ The day I was born my father had a Winchester Model 67 .22 rifle he was given in 1932 to replace another burned up in a fire.
I still own it, and many more I’ve bought over the last fifty years myself.
What’s changed is my father’s 1933 Rosebud school eighth grade photo shows a smiling, pampered, incredibly movie star handsome boy who would accidentally kill his best friend while hunting rabbits in 1936 and drop out of high school at age 17 with a shotgun I have no idea where it went,
He died in 1971 of an infection from swallowing a bone he didn’t know he’d swallowed, and never told me about it.
If he’d shot that boy in a brush pile today at age 17 the law would have no doubt given him a manslaughter record that would have prevented him marrying the pretty girl singer at the 1946 Camdenton J Bar H Rodeo who became a school teacher and my mother.
18 soldier boys asked my mother to marry her the summer of 1946. She married the 4-F high school drop out that had the largest funeral in our little town’s existence, instead.
What has changed about guns is owning one is no longer moral, decent, and required among nice families in the Ozarks as a right of passage into manhood.
A 17 year old can have their mother buy them an AR 15 for about half the cost of the latest iPhone.
I love guns, but that’s wrong.
In time that will lead to judicial gutting of the Second Amendment.
