I keep reading about "peaceful protests" with violence.
"Peaceful" - "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
we have family in portland and tacoma. best wishes for them and UPS'd some spare ammo to them both. funny how frantic anti gunners get when their children become at risk. not criticizing. not a bit. sent a bunch of 5.56mm 1st reloads with so stout loads. both families have carbines now. need more practice I say...
