Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. Winston Churchill.

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but I will not furnish an easy list for the Government. You all know that they monitor sites like this , so why make it easy. If, and when they show up at your door, and collect all of your guns that they find, then they bring out their list. Want to know why we did not find a 30-06, .243, or others. I have been grilled by Army intelligence, over a period of days, an it was not a fun thing. In fact if a second Lt. had wanted to lie to save himself, I would have went to prison. miles Fun list, but I don’t want to publicly state everything I own or give any idea how many I own. Then don't comment
