   I heard it with you. I heard the same story a dozen times over my life. “They little know nor care what they do when they legislate.” I took two oaths in my life. Neither was conditional. I found the unexpected destruction of one, quite painful. My word is my bond.

   I’ll tell you, the unexpected repudiation of the one oath gave me a very good idea what the typical Soviet military officer felt when the USSR collapsed overnight.

  Firearms, fibers, any news or behaviors that make me say, "hmm, let me take another look at this."

  I still miss my man, but my aim is getting better.

  On life’s road, it’s not where you go but who’s by your side that makes the difference.

  Gun control is not about guns, it's about control.

  Attention deficit, oh pretty!

  If you love someone tell them now. Eternity is time enough for silence.
