It’s paved now. Sobering to think of how it was 73 years earlier.

Some may argue that the 9mms are better but, if so, they are only marginally better. No progress in 108 years, I think we're at the end. Compare that with the 108 years before 1911. In 1803 we didn't even have peercussion caps or repeating firearms. Don't blame me. I voted for Trump. Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.
