I am hopeful that we will all be singing in the same choir in 2012. Keep in mind that we are in a very real war to maintain the Constitutional right we have to keep and bear arms. Without this right it would be very difficult to indulge ourselves in this hobby we all love. IMO: 2012 will be a pivotal year in deciding whether our children and grandchildren are able to maintain this right. I just got back from Christmas with the grandchildren and I would like to wish everyone a belated Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! Jim

Jim In thinking of the current administration and the anti-gun sentiment being foisted on our representatives and us I am reminded of what that Great American and my personal hero had to say, first about the Vietnamese and later about our Congress, "When You Have Them By The Balls, Their Hearts and Minds Will Follow" John Wayne GOD BLESS THE NRA!

George- of all the Gents on this website- you are "Numbah 1" but I hate to tell you- the great Duke Wayne may have said this, but it was USMC lad Chucky Colson, an adviser to "Tricky Dick" Nixon- the C-In-C that kept our troops out of both Laos and Cambodia, and who most likely thought that the "Iron Triangle" was a chastity belt from Victoria's Secret--
Chuckie-Boy even had that great motto framed and hung on his office wall in DC-- After the Fit hit the Shan with Watergate, and Chucky went off to a Federal Country Club "rest Home' to work on his backswing, he later found Jesus apparently, and repented of his former "Ball squeezing wicked ways- yeah, right!! He just tutored Uber *&^% Hillary Clinton in them, which was a walk in the park, as Draft-Dodger Billy Clinton didn't have any to speak of!!
Anyway, Happy 2012 down in the great Palmetto State-- you have the time frame right- our "Mission" according to Willie Westmoreland and others was to "Win the hearts and minds of the Vietnamese and do what the French had tried to do there unsuccessfully for 20 years, until about 1954--

Thanks Franc and a Happy and Prosperous New Year to You & Yours. Hi lads Hope you all had a grand Christmas, n I hope we all have a good 2012 I just wanted to post something along the lines of how we're all lucky to not be in the Silent Guns section, n how we all dearly love out hobby of shooting or collecting these masterpieces of an age passed by Lets try to all be nice is all I mean It was rather ugly there for a while, though better lately. I have said a few not so nice things to RWTF & ol'Ed, & I would like to apologize for them in the spirit of a new & friendly 2012 here at this lovely place where we can come chat to people with the same interests. I had a dumb row with Le Fusil/Dustin a while ago, but after an Email or two we got it sorted & I would say we would be friends now, if we met ...I was real happy about that, so thanks Dusty for being a gent! I think so much of so many of you guys...lets keep it cosy this year, eh? And thanks to Dave Weber for letting us visit Bless the lot of ya Franc

RWTF: I'll bet Chuck watched a lot of John Wayne movies. It just sounds like something "The Duke" would come up with, perhaps in "Sands of Iwo Jima" (My all time favorite)
Best Regards For an GREAT New Year!......George

John Wayne was entertaining. I enjoyed how he performed as other people. I don't know how he got a reputation for tough guy. He put his career before his country during the war.

Hey jOe, did you have to go back 3-1/2 years to find a compliment?
