I know what you mean. Good relationship with school officials, local police and parents. Small town=everyone knows your business Small towns=everyone knows your business got your back covered.

“Liberals don’t hate guns, they hate gun owners. They despise anyone who disagrees. They really want to ban US!”

And if they ever disarm us, they will.

I have to admit my high school principal would have liked to choke most of us. Especially my senior year. We were always screwing up or around into some kind of duck school authority plan. But never to physical harm to each other unless it was an argument where fists and talk ended it at the time. No gangs, no ambushes, and some girl at the bottom of the issue who ended up dating a guy not in the disagreement. But that is just small town crap.

In 1953 I was 17 and an adult for hunting puposes in PA
My bro was 15 and could hunt with an adult--ME

We used to walk out of our house in the Germantown section of Philadelphia carrying a Sears bolt action shotgun with the bolt out

Walk two blocks and stand on the corner and wait for the 23 trolley which we took to Chestnut Hill carrying the shotgun the entire time
In Chestnut hill we caught a bus to what is now the Upper Dublin HS area --received permission to hunt from the farm owners and spent the day hunting and then returned home they way we came

Passengers on the trolley and bus just smiled at us and asked hown the hunting went

Socialists architect moral decline in order to increase their control over society.

Black people kill other black people at a far great rate than anyone else does.

When the country was more european based citizenry, it was much, much more civilized.

Never should have let socialism ever take roots here.

When we lived on Long Island in the late 50’s my Brother was in a School Gun Club.

He carried his .22 Rifle to School twice a week and nobody batted an eye.

Don't forget the "Nazi - Guns Laws" implemented in the United States.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_J._Dodd Dodd was elected as a Democrat to the House of Representatives in 1952, and served two terms. He lost a Senate election in 1956 to Prescott S. Bush, but was elected in 1958 to Connecticut's other Senate seat and then re-elected in 1964.

In 1967 Dodd became the first Senator censured by the US Senate since Joseph McCarthy in 1954,[22] and was one of only six people censured by the Senate in the 20th century. The resulting censure was a condemnation and finding that he had converted campaign funds to his personal accounts and spent the money

Thomas Joseph Dodd became vice chairman of the Board of Review and later executive trial counsel for the Office of the United States Chief of Counsel for the Prosecution of Axis Criminality at Nuremberg, Germany, in 1945 and 1946. He practiced law privately in Hartford, Connecticut, from 1947 to 1953.

U.S. Senator Thomas Joseph Dodd, (May 15, 1907 – May 24, 1971) the father of U.S. Senator {1981 to 2011} for Connecticut, Christopher Dodd. You know as the {the other slice of bread} via Teddy Kennedy was one slice of bread in the notorious "waitress sandwich" {waitress Gaviglio} reported by many and documented by respected journalist Michael Kelly.

In 1967 [Thomas Joseph] Dodd became the first Senator censured by the US Senate since Joseph McCarthy in 1954, and was one of only six people censured by the Senate in the 20th century.

As chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency, [Thomas Joseph] Dodd worked to restrict the purchase of mail order handguns, and later shotguns and rifles. These efforts culminated in the Gun Control Act of 1968, which Dodd introduced, including certain registration requirements.

Zimring, Franklin E. (1975). "Firearms and Federal Law: The Gun Control Act of 1968". The Journal of Legal Studies. 4 (1): 133. ISSN 0047-2530. Nuremberg Trials

Both Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, chief prosecutor for the U.S., and {Thomas Joseph} Dodd insisted upon a fair and legal trial to prosecute the Nazi war criminals.

Gee, I wonder who paid to have the German gun laws transcribed into English. I have this Name RIGHT ON THE TIP OF MY TONGUE.

"When we lived on Long Island ..."

I have to ask, where on Long Island?

I'm from the arm-pit of Brentwood, {Suffolk County} L.I. N.Y.

Left that hell-hole Long Island in 1978. On my mother's side of the family, I was the first to leave Long Island in over 300 year's, dating back to the French Huguenots.

I lived in Brentwood for a couple of years around 1960 on Merrill Street.

It was going downhill then.

My wife (now deceased ) was I think from that area. Alway’s talked about the Belmont Race track not being to far away from her house.

My Father and his Brother owned an Esso Gas Station on Dutch Broadway, a few blocks from our House.
