Thanks jdege, that really says it all!

Constitutional question: has it ever been argued that two provisions of the constitution are fundamentally in conflict? Because I could see Kalifornia claiming that the entire Second Amendment conflicts with the mandate of the government to establish peace, order and safety. Not that they'd be right...

I presume that portability means that 20mm like the Anzio is out. Rule Of Cool though:

Hear hear!

The NRA leadership has for far too long viewed its members as simply a source of money, much like too many Republicans view gun owners as simply a source of votes; in neither case giving much back.

Currently scheduled to be a keynote speaker at the Great American Outdoor Show on February 9, 2024, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Okay, that second link looks like the same page that I filled out so I'm hoping all is well.

It linked to a petition your congresspersons on the subject of the veteran gun ban. Seemed straightforward enough, and heavily used the GOA name and graphics. But it somehow didn't look quite like the ones that GOA has sent me before. It was only then that I doublechecked the email origin address.
