Fantastic.

I've got a Parker 12 ga. (SxS) that was awarded from the Mayor of Vancouver.... that close enough? HA.

My Hall rifle is coming together.... I should have the metalwork finished tomorrow and then off to the stocker.

I don’t think the government ever supported it, why would they, it’s designed to be the ultimate check on their power.

The founders (most anyway) certainly supported it. They stopped supporting it when they stopped representing the people and became power hungry

And don't forget about Woodrow Wilson who started the whole Federal reserve thing. IMO he was the devil incarnate.

Wilson not only was the worst President ever, but he was also the most Authoritarian. Imagine the police state we'd be living in now if he was still alive and in power.
