    The JFK Assassination - 60 Years On.

    Too Many Cheap Guns!

    I went to my LGS the other day. The owner was grousing about all of the folks that bought cheap guns over the last couple of panics and now wanted to sell them back for around new prices. After all they haven't been fired! And now these gun buyers find that their wages are functionally lower and...

    Joe seems to be desperate to start as many wars as possible so that he can go into the next election as a war leader and defender of our country.

    Vision

    I've basically had monocular vision since a fight back in elementary school. My right eye, which had been my primary eye, took an injury which temporarily blinded me and then left that eye extremely far-sighted. Since my left eye was somewhat near-sighted, that meant that I could only use one...
