        shooting guns. I have a few questions:
        1) How hard is it to get a CCW permit?

7/18    I love guns, but only old guns. I'd love to try out muskets, you
        know, those things that won us our freedom. I'd also love to try out
        Washington era canons, those that were used to scare off the bloody

        \_ Civil war re-enactments.

4/23    For you guys who think we need guns to check government power, where
        do you draw the line? Is there a line for you, or should all small arms
        be legal for private ownership?

           \_ Yeah, I think recoiless rifles should be legit.

        I think that's why some bicyclist on here are for gun control
        because they are psychos in themselves and can't control
