Boy talk about modifying history.

You do know that way back when the 2nd Amendment was first add to the constitution that our founding father knew that civilians had legal access to every weapon the military did? And in fact they had access to better weapons. The Army was still using the same smooth bore musket they used fighting the Brits. Had an accurate range of about 50 yards. 75 if you got a real good one. Militias that formed to fight the Brits were largely equipped with the Pennsylvania Long Rifle that had an accurate range of 200 yards. Plus civilians could by cannons and anything else the army had. Both the North and South marched off to war with muzzle loading rifles when by the time the Civil War started the repeating rifle had been in civilian hands for 5 or 6 years. When Custer died at Little Big Horn his troops were equipped with single shot rifles (breech loading) while a lot of the Indians had level guns. Not only was Custer out numbered he was out gunned too. Around 1905 auto loading rifles were in civilian hands yet the US military when to war in 1917 with bolt guns. Even the AR platform rifle was in civilian hands by 1956, converted to 223/5.56 (AR15) in 1959 and finally adopted by the US military in 1963 as the M16.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
