"Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm -- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves." – T.S. Eliot

"The right of self defence is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction." - St. George Tucker

A careful definition of words would destroy half the agenda of the political left and scrutinizing evidence would destroy the other half. - Thomas Sowell

"To ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the innocent and law-abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless, and that the law will permit them to have only such rights and liberties as the lawless will allow...

For society does not control crime, ever, by forcing the law-abiding to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of criminals. Society controls crime by forcing the criminals to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of the law-abiding." - Jeff Snyder

Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons. The possession of a good rifle, as well as the skill to use it well, truly makes a man the monarch of all he surveys. It realizes the ancient dream of the Jovian thunderbolt, and as such it is the embodiment of personal power. For this reason it exercises a curious influence over the minds of most men, and in its best examples it constitutes an object of affection unmatched by any other inanimate object.

You don't need to go to Law School to understand the constitutional implications of that.

A real Italian BM59, in Italy, fired by an Italian.
This guy has a bunch of YouTube videos on the
Italian Garand types. In Italian. Looks like the
brake does an OK job on full auto.

Charles S Swain. He was a 6th Battalion Ranger in WWII. This photo was taken after the POW rescue raid on Cabanatuan, Philippines. Sadly he passed away in '92. This picture was in LIFE magazine.

Black Tips Matter, especially if you think your body armor will stop this round.

I have a few of those. I didn't know they were that old when I bought them.

Fascinating!

I've seen the Iranian .30-06 ammo for sale, and I've wondered why the heck the Iranians would make such a thing ... now I know! :bigsmile:
