    A few years ago the mayor of Washington DC was arrested and convicted of drug dealing. When it was all said and done he was REELECTED. Our Nations Capitol is not safe after dark and it is a mecca for the useless and criminal and I don't just mean the politicians. Our experiment with Democracy has not lasted very long and is not doing very well. When the politicians became a CALL of people rather than a job for American citizens it actually was DEAD. Yes, you get to vote...for carefully selected figureheads from the political class of Americans. Trump, because of his extreme wealth snuck in but they have already made changes to ensure that it won't happen again. Trump may not be a member of the regular American class but he IS an American businessman and has not made a living as a leach off the American System like most of the political class for generations.

    Both parties right now are seemingly trying to drag us down to our knees. They don't want us to work but we are supposed to pay our bills...??? We, unlike them, a forbidden to just print money. Small businesses are fast becoming a thing of the past. They don't have very deep pockets and many don't own the building that they are in. When they close down they are not going to have the ability to start up again. The BIG box stores are going to get by and maybe even thrive via things like online shopping and outside pickup.

    When all of the big businesses, banks and political offices are owned and controlled by the same families you are just kidding yourself about your vote affecting things and your freedom is a sham as soon as they take away your right to own and use weapons. Almost half of our country is already a sort of Mao type of socialist state. They have surrendered their freedom meekly and are now paying for it with the ever-increasing violence and then their leaders remove as much of their police protection as possible...????????? This is liberal Freedom???

    Those of us here need to move up and tighten our preparations. If you need drugs you need to start hoarding them and refiling them a little early each time. I have talked my Doc into upping my medication prescriptions but am saving the extras. I'm old and won't last a long time but I want to get things established and rolling before I hand it off and die. Any real hope of my kids surviving will be in my having other people already hear and in charge before I die. My kids can shoot and have the right attitude but just don't have what it will take to do the hard things in hard times. I tried hard but couldn't overcome the insanity of 12 years in public schools and then 5 years of college. They are way ahead of most of their generation but it will take a while to develop the kind of hardness that my Generation inherited from our fathers and mothers. They have been socialized and I am like a pet wolf. I can act social but then tear your throat out.

    Think for a minute, those of you here that are at least 60. What were your favorite TV shows? How many of you had lots of toy guns over the years and played at War and Cowboys and Indians. Did your back yards echo with BANG bang, your dead? Mine did. we played those same games at school. I still remember how to fold a toy gun that when you whip it out and down the end pops open with a loud pop. I read the other day where a little boy was thrown out of a school for making a finger gun and pointing his finger at another kid. do we really, as a people, deserve to survive? We have seemingly carefully prepared our children to be victims and taken away their ability to defend themselves along with the tools to do so.

    Good evening TexDanm,

    Ah, my former Mayor, Marion Barry !

    He got busted for smoking crack-coke in bed with a girlfriend. It was all filmed. After a few months in Fed House, he got reelected. Was both D.C. Mayor and elected to city council representing Ward 8, a VERY DANGEROUS area.

    Mayor Barry had a "colorful" personality. He was quoted with saying something like - Except for the murders, the crime rate is down. -

    Some of my favorite television programs:

    Wagon Train - Ward Bond
    Roy Rogers and Dale Evans
    Gene Autrey
    Zorro
    Zane Gray Theater
    Sea Hunt Mike Nelson / Lloyd Bridges
    Highway Patrol Brod__ Crawford (forgot)

    I had more cap pistols than space to keep them.

    Also grew up with a Rockola M-1 carbine.

    ......

    My complete agreement re the 2 political parties. Do remember that Trump is "merely" using the GOP as the vehicle. Trump is a real outsider re the political establishment.

    I have my favorite cap gun in an honored spot right in the middle of my gun cabinet. it is a black handles silver colt revolver that had a swing-out gate and six cartridges almost exactly like a late-era colt pistol. I wore it in a low ride quick draw holster that I wish I still had. I also have the small black handle over and under derringer that went with it. I remember my Rifleman Winchester and then for WW2 War play I carried a Thompson machinegun or a bolt action with a functioning bolt and shoulder strap. I also still have on my gun rack my little double-barreled sawed-off shotgun that actually cocked and fired corks. I also had plenty of rubber knives.

    We were a very violent and militant bunch of kids.
