Crushed between the wheels of capitalism and big government.

I Really, Really Wish I Had Written This

Seen on ARFCOM this evening:

Why I like Garands

It satisfies the eyes. It looks warm, robust, serious, and
capable. It looks like victory, freedom and liberation. It looks
friendly. It does not look evil. It does not look delicate. It does
not look cheap.

It satisfies the ears. The clocklike schnick when you pull the
bolt back. The warning click as you shove home another 8 round clip.
The massive solid slam as the bolt rams another round into the
chamber. The deep throated bark of the muzzle as you fire away.
The final Ka-Ting as the empty clip is ejected. The horrifying scream
of agony as the guy four benches down learns never to hesitate when
removing his thumb from a freshly loaded clip.

It satisfies the touch. The warm sculpted wood. The curve of the stock.
The curl of the bolt lug. The take-up of the trigger. The robust, solid, yet
unsharp push of the kick.

It satisfies the soul. It is the defender of liberty. It is the champion of
victory. It is the guarantor of freedom. It will not be used to rob banks.
No terrorist will unleash it on a crowd of unarmed victims. No gangster will
use it to shoot little girls while missing his imagined gangster enemies.

It is the good guy's weapon. It is just the ticket to liberate a country. It
opens the doors of concentration camps. It saves people from tyranny.
It topples dictators. It squashes fascists. It pushes communists behind
their walls. It defends the homeland. It provides for the common defense.
It is necessary for the security of a free state.

It brings joy to women and children as they fire it. It strikes fear in the hearts
of those that oppose freedom. It makes friends at the shooting range. It
reminds us of the cost of freedom. Its lavish expense is appropriately justified.

It is your duty as an American to own one. Get one now. Buy ammo. Use it.
Never mind the price, find the best one you can. You have no excuse.
The time is now!!!!!!
