They change theirs displays out regularly and might send me some of the old ones on a rotation. Which I greatly appreciate. But now its time to start stocking and clothes are my top priority now. The guns are already in my safe and ready to… Continue

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes

Use Em or Loose Em.

I aint no preacher, I aint no bell ringer, I aint no right wing extremist and I aint no sheep. Your right to own any type of firearm is in jeopardy. Call your congressman, support GOA/NRA or any other A you choose. Do it now right now or loose em. You folks from the UK need to remind us colonials of the losses you have suffered.
