Authorities in Colorado say they have issued an arrest warrant for a man suspected of shooting at a 7-Eleven store because the clerk had worn a cap – while off-duty – supporting the U.S. Border Patrol.

Time to go back to the 'Old West' days -- and a much more polite society.
Were it a M-1 Carbine or a M-1 Rifle?
My saddle gun is a carbine while my Rugar 1 is a rifle. And then there are pistols and howitzers. All are the same, but differ.
Interesting way of expressing one’s political beliefs — firing at someone who disagrees with him. That’s how civil wars get started.

Make that “race wars”.
Another Illegal Alien gangsta
A carbine can be an M1 Carbine semiautomatic or an M2 carbine which can fire automatic!

Don’t be pulling targets in the pits on a target for a M2 Carbine. Those bullets bounce off of everything, including the paper target.
I just looked at the Wanted Posters for most of the large American citizens, and overwhelmingly the scumbags they are trying to get for murder, etc. are predominantly Hispanic Illegal Aliens.
The people are going to rise up.
Forty years of liberal immersion is a hard thing for most of them to overcome. They're scared of firearms, intimidated by attorneys and accustomed to believing what the tube tells them. It would have to be up to us geezers who remember a better America (and never considered politicians the arbiters of the 2nd Amendment).
Not that I'd have anything buried out back...

Yty this one -- it's a model, but it has the 5H designation markings on my Group.

I apologize for the screwup...had no idea. There's a lot of pictures of the McDonald Douglas war bird, mostly about the 646th, 647th. The A20 Havoc with guns in the nose plus the turret gun was definitely a plane to be contended with for the amount of firepower the little light bomber could lay down.
Raising Havoc in the Ardennes
Limited edition print featuring Douglas A-20 Havocs of the 410th Bomb Group, paying tribute to ninth air force pilots and crew who flew during the Battle of the Bulge in the winter of 1945
Many a P38 pilot and the boots on the ground owe their lives to those that flew the unheralded A20.
If you care to, Go to the link below and click on the thumbnail: "Glass nosed A20 from the 646th bomb squadron "The Real McCoy" enroute to a target."
That was the original photo that I saw and thought was pretty cool.
If you're interested, you can go to thet Web-Birds homepage, schroll down the left side to the Ninth AF, to find the 416th Bomb Group -- that's my outfit -- the 668th Squadron.
I think you will find the 12th paragraph of the text to be of particular interest.

will work if you cut it, go to RUN, paste itabd click OK. As I said, it is a picture of a model of one of my squadron's airplanes. It is, by the way, a bad picture -- it should not be so dark, but the the normal Olive Drab color.
