April 19, 1775 - Today in history

[FATCAT]

231 years ago our great country took its first steps to becoming a nation.



I hope all of you celebrate by stoping by the range this weekend (and bring your kids) with your 03A3, 1917, M1, M14, AR15, etc... and bone up on your riflemen skills. We owe it to those simple citizens back then who put 'um on the chopping block to secure the freedoms we have today.



When you get home tonight, hoist a cold one to the men of Concord and Lexington ... and go clean your rifles.

AMEN!



I was out with the AR last weekend. Oo.



With moving just getting done maybe I can find some time to reload some 30-06 and get out the M1 and '03. Too bad I don't have an M14, somebody took that freedom away and made it cost prohibitive :{

I wonder what the men of Lexington and Concord would think of what happened on April 19 many years later-when Janet Reno decided to ''gently'' insert cs tear gas into the Branch Davidian compound. I will celebrate the brave men of our beginnings,but will also remember the innocent children of Waco.
