    That's what the sunglasses were for. Most of our battles were with bottle rockets. We even had buddies who lived in opposing apts that were opposite each other with a breezeway. We had a red ryder bb gun next to a recliner. If you sat in that chair, your job was to get the guys coming out of the other apt before they got away. There were alot of bb's in those carpets.

    I can remember a group of dumbass kids, light a bottle rocket, throw it in the air and then RUN. Today people would probably equate it with an artillery strike. I'd probably be pissed if some kid bombed me with a roman candle, I'd be seriously pissed if some shithead did a drive by roman candle but the people trying to equate it with anything like a mass killing should be forced to live in Chicago for a summer.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    Some of us just got lucky and survived childhood. Lots of lots of things we did could have gone sideways. I saw it happen enough. Most of us who were gonna get checked out because of stupidity had it happen when we got cars and motorcycles. The only upside is it made some of us slow the F down and think about shit.

    Jarts, just sayin'
    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.

    I remember playing jarts over the house, one person in the front yard and the other in the back yard.
