Now if you can just send some of that "common sense" (gotta love how that phrase has been beaten to death at every opportunity by the anti's) to the NE part of the nation.

I'm starting to feel claustrophobic here in PA as the walls seem to be closing in instead of opening up.

Good luck with that DE--I prefer to OC my S&W .460XVR. It doubles as a walking stick.

And in other news, Colt files for Chapter 11. They are even located in the NE.

Colt lost the M4 military contract to FN a couple of years ago, which has really killed them. If you're itching for a Colt AR or 1911, better jump on it while they're still around!

Thanks, but I am one of those strange ones who think that the more gun manufacturers that go out of business, the better.

Just remember

To conquer a nation, first disarm its citizens.

Ok i will give that one to you. It does appear to be a urban myth that hitler said that.

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined..."
- George Washington

A quotation without context is barely different from the Hitler mis-attribution above. If you're gonna quote, provide context and a useful citation. George Washington, First Annual Address, to both House of Congress (8 January 1790)

I have to say, if I was roaming those parts in 1790 I probably would have wanted a firearm as well.

So George Washington appears to have been promoting independent arms factories, particularly for essential military supplies. He goes on to talk about the troops required to maintain the peace. And he also said that the people needed to be disciplined (presumably in their use of the firearms).

Are current (existing or proposed) firearms regulations considered to be part of that discipline of which he spoke?
