There is a reason why all statues of Confederate heroes face north....they knew someday those damyankees would come back. Unfortunately, we don't have any statues on the doublegunforum to keep Ed Good out.(if that's his real name) I would only put guns on consignment with George at Champlin Firearms; a man of impeccable integrity and honesty.

A lot of war after Gettysburg, and a democratic challenger that would have ended the war if and when elected. Only the fall of Atlanta in September of 1864 ensured Lincoln's reelection.
How close we came to being two nations. An order at Gettysburg to countermarch as opposed to an about face. But where to put all of these fallen heroes, General Montgomery C. Meigs interjected, 'He's the man most responsible for all of these casualties, bury them at his doorstep."
Or was it "Bury them here" as he stood at Arlington.

And how is all this Civil War stuff pertinent to "selling guns on consignment??" I do believe that was the OP subject. Speaking for myself, these excursions and pissing contests and having to have the last word, are very detrimental to the quality of Dave's intention for this forum. It quickly gets very tiresome!

In a round about way Walt we're trying to tell Ed to go away by ignoring his OP.

Yep. General Meigs had the pleasure of burying his son in Mrs. Lee's garden. Doubt he found it very consoling.

I don't know who you are but your Uncle Remus type chatter is quite offensive.
