"First they came for the Jews and it was not me, then they came for the gypsies and it was not me, then they came for ....." I purchased "assault rifles" in the late '80's when "they" started the black gun garbage because it is my RIGHT. I hardly ever shoot them-too busy with my "Sweet Elsies"- BUT I own them and several battle paks of mil spec ammo. One never knows when a "Katrina" will strike this part of the NC coast. While I hope we never have New Orleans style problems only a fool trust the folks in DC to do the right things.(Don't think so ask the Native Americans!) Besides I am responsible for my safety and that of my family. Jim Zumbo is entitled to his opinion, even if he is off base. Best, Dr. BILL
