We may strongly dislike each other's takes on anything related to Michigan and Ohio state, but we seem to see so many other parts of the world similarly. If only i could convert you to good fandom. I'll drop you off some maize and blue socks. Let's start small.
I'm not wearing your stupid socks!

LoL.

Yup.  I got my granddad's entire collection because my cousins on the other side are super-liberal anti-gun dudes, and my brother lives in an apartment and has no room for any of it.  My sister has no interest.

The real collector's pieces have been on display in museums in Temple, Belton, Waco, and Austin.  One of them is a rifle that Wild Bill Hickock allegedly owned, they had that one in an exhibit at the Texas Rangers museum in Waco for a while.
I don't have anything nearly as impressive as that but my favorite collector piece is an 1897 Winchester that my Grandpa bought at a bankruptcy auction during the Depression. It had been the security system of the "Lodi State Bank" and when they went tits up my Grandpa went to the auction and bought the gun.

For those unfamiliar, a Winchester 1897 is a 12 ga pump shotgun and TBH, the scariest thing about it is the distinctuve chunk-clank sound it makes when you rack it. That sound is just mean even if you aren't really familiar with it.

If they show up at my door to take mine, they better be really well armed because they are only taking my guns from my cold dead hands. 
Kindly return to 1792.  FFS

This is the reason the gov't would never, ever try to do this.  It's also a reason no other country could ever invade us.

But if today's gov't wanted to erase you, they'd do it easily.  Stop the fantasy of fighting your own gov't off your land.  

I honestly just wish the 2nd amendment said something crazy like "don't own other people as property" or some such.  I can't help but think if it said you had the right to bear tennis rackets, you wouldn't give a damn about guns.  You'd waste time about how your forehand would turn the tide in the next civil war.

I hunted with a Winchester Model 12 as a teenager (my uncle's gun). The sound it made when racking a round was delightful. The feel was nice, too. Great gun. Honestly, I was a little sad that I didn't inherit it, but them's the breaks.

Lots of ramble here.

Fro's an ass, but he's got a point here. The BLM police shooter in Dallas was a trained Marine, armed to the teeth, in a sniper position. Very few are better situated to shoot it out with the govt than him. They blew him up with a robot in less than five minutes. If that hadn't worked, they could have sent in an armored personnel carrier. 



If some random dude tried to shoot it out with the govt? Good luck with that.

Unless you're Rambo, not much of a chance. Hopefully we never get there to find out.

I'm not encouriging insurrection but some quotes are timeless and this applies to the last gaggle of squawking twats and their perverted views and criminal existence that has been shown the door.

You'd have a better chance of beating LeBron James one on one, with your shoes tied together, and using a football while on offense.
