Re: I would not go to Washington DC for this inaguration
Five times as many soldiers as we have in Iraq and Afghanistan combined are now in Washington DC.
Does anyone else see a parallel between this and Julius Ceasar crossing the Rubicon and bringing his Legion into Italy?

Re: The Best Gun
I agree. This old Ruger is a prime example.
I don’t know how many rounds I’ve put through it but shooting it was like eating popcorn....a little bit won’t do! The only issue I ever had with it was that the front sight was just too short. But it would not hurt my feelings if this was my only gun.

Having shot a lot of critters with both. I think a heavier bigger bullet kills better at a given velocity. For example, a .357 at 900 feet per second is not the same as a .454 at 900 feet per second. Bullet shape and composition matters too. However, a .357 is pretty deadly when you push it hard. Mo...
