Dementia joe, in a speech supporting his executive actions on gun control said " no constitutional amendment is absolute" impeach this treasonous clown. Our constitution is being dismantled by these socialists. Gun owners , take notice.

Joey Biden's enemies will not and can never be expected to love him, but it's for we loyal Christians to chronicle every day and hour of the man who Mike Pence certified the winner of the 2020 elections late in the evening hours of 1/6/21.

Someday, and not too many years from now, like Casey Jones, Joey Biden will take his last ride into legend.

He'll kiss his pretty wife Dr. Jill, for the last time.

And he'll mount up, and slide on those Ray Bans for his ride to glory.

Christian maidens a century from now, will still sing of Joey's Last Ride:

CASEY'S LAST RIDE

June Tabor 1998



It's not best that Joey be remembered for trying to tax faux Armalites.

It's far better he build glorious railroads.

What other limits are there on a constitutional right? A little more libertarian philosophy:

No right can be had at the expense of someone else. Meaning that your right to keep and bear arms should not impose a cost on others. For example, if you can't afford a gun you should not be provided one at tax payer expense. Nor should your right to bear arms be forced on private property owners who do not want people carrying firearms inside their business. The Bill of Rights is a limit on government power, not on the rights of individuals.

Okay I will play, Junior how can you be both a Joe supporter and a Christian. Those two things just don't go together.

You can't, no more than you can be a supporter of gun rights and vote for dementia joe. That's why he tries to derail every gun control thread. But goofy legends and twangy music doesn't cover for an anti gun vote.

And my mother asked me, how did John Luther Jones earn the grade of engineer on the Southern Fireball Mail? Casey Jones had to climb the ladder, before he came to that day on April 29, 1900, when he kissed his pretty wife that last time, to go through the underground labyrinth of subways in Memphis and past the turnstiles, to get his orders.

And I kept on getting out books until I learned that the privilege to grasp the Johnson Bar had to be earned and was never granted to Fireman Simeon Webb.

It might be a terrible idea to allow any mother's son to buy an Anderson lower and cobble together a facsimile of the rifle Robert S. McNamara approved as the man battle rifle of America.

Shouldn't the right to bear that glorious arm, be earned?

Hooey, hooey and more hooey, not to mention meaningless bull$h!t. :roll:
Seriously, 58,000 boys died in Vietnam who earned the privilege to bear an M-14 and later on an M-16 so that old men fifty years on later could whine, moan, groan and complain they might have to pay a $200 tax on a $60 Anderson lower, if they wanted to keep it.

And just think about all the millions of other boys that left their mothers and sweethearts, to earn the privilege of qualifying on an Armalite, so when they got their orders they could serve us, asleep in our beds?

I had a Sergeant issue me a shotgun once, when I pulled a double shift in 1980, and I volunteered as the guard on a prison bus from Kansas City to Jefferson City and the return.

The last thing the Sergeant said in front of those boys in chains was,,,,

Humansville,,,,rack your shotgun!!!

I replied Yes Sir, and racked that issued Remington 870 and wondered for 153 miles if I could shoot one of those boys chained together, staring out in the darkness of I-70 and later 63, and thorough the gates of the entrance to the Missouri State Penitentiary where the air stunk like death.

After we got our receipts for our prisoners, I removed the live shell from the chamber.

Then when I got back to Jackson County DOC I had to account for every shell.

All the way there, I kept thinking about Casey's Last Ride.

EMMYLOU HARRIS version



Don't you think I'd have a helluva lot rather been in Humansville than a Corporal riding shotgun on a prison bus, looking at a barrel that said:

FOR POLICE SERVICE

Maybe this nation should reserve battle rifles only those wiling to go into battle?

Seriously, the main problem I see with a tax on ARs is that the Feds then have a list of everybody who owns one. Registration, you might call it. Not good.

As for reserving ARs for soldiers only, if the early colonists had not possessed "battle rifles" i.e. muskets, there would have been no American Revolution and no USA.

The 2nd Amendment says that the right of the people to keep and bear arms is necessary for the security of a free State, and there's no doubt that it means the arms of the day.

There aren't complete records that will tell me the serial number of the Spencer and the cavalry revolver and the saber issued my Great Grandfather who was a private soldier in Company M of the 12th Missouri United States Volunteer Cavalry.

And I'm certain that the graves of every Missouri boy who died with a Spencer in his hands are as lovingly registered as every one of the 58,000 boys that died with an M-16 while in our service.

A lot of Colonial troops died, so Americans could have the honor and privilege of bearing a service rifle into battle so that old men could worry and fret over whether their Anderson lower they paid $60 for at a pawn shop might be registered someplace besides the 4473 records of where they bought it.

With good reason...

My favorite retort to "Nobody needs an assault rifle." is:

Rosa Parks did not "need" to ride in the front of the buss.
John Luther "Casey" Jones, volunteered to mount into the cabin of the Cannonball Express, to make his last ride to glory, because another engineer had called in sick.

His pretty wife had bought new stockings, just to please him, and begged Casey to stay with her awhile.

She lived 58 more years, and wore black every day.

Casey was a long way from his home in Jackson when Sim saw the red light of a caboose on the main line at Vaughn, and Casey ordered Sim to jump while he stayed on his station, to the end.

President Biden should build glorious railroads, and leave taxing fake battle rifles to the other side.

There's still a lot of so called patriots that refuse to get vaccinated, because they think it might hurt.

This nation needs more real heroes, like Casey Jones.

Casey's Last Ride

What we don't need is more slackers, afraid to join the army to get a issued a real assault rifle.

Thank you. That's one I'll not forget.

I'm not a professional historian, but I've spend much of my life insatiably reading works by and about the Founding Fathers (and Mothers). The truth of what they thought and believed and what kind of people they were is not enigmatic. You don't need some pimple-faced Harvard professor to "interpret it for modern times" for you. It's all right there in black and white. These are pretty easy men and women to get to know on a personal basis.

Joe Biden recently asked rhetorically if rifles suitable for battle really belong on the streets, in the hands of the general public. He posed that question assuming we all agree with him on the answer. He's not bright enough to know that the answer is a resounding "YES!"

We've had another snap of cold weather, so it's not quite time for summery drinks like lemonade and sun tea. The other night, Missus HenryVac and I clicked on the furnace as it got cold outside and decided to treat ourselves to a sip of something more bracing. So we opened up a little 375ml bottle of George Washington's rye mashbill whiskey from Mount Vernon.

I got to thinking about Slow Joe's question, and it occurred to me... imagine walking up to George Washington at Mount Vernon in 1797 as he was working on his distillery, and sitting down and talking to him. Imagine asking him Slow Joe's rhetorical question. Imagine him thinking back on everything he'd just lived through, recalling the early incidents like The Gunpowder Affair in Williamsburg, where Governor Lord Dunmore removed the locks from the armory rifles and seized the barrels of gunpowder.

I can't begin to imagine the horror and disappointment on Washington's face, that an American would ever even pose such a stupid question.

Gun control threads are not the place to discuss ones mama and a train. But anti gun leftists really want the discussion to end
Like most Campbellite school playgrounds eighty or fifty or sixty years ago or even today, there was metal caboose, and passenger car, and steam locomotive at Humansville Elementary, about 1948 or 1949 and still there in the 1960's when we kids played on it.

The last time I talked with Distinguished Professor Emeritus Alonzo Hamby he chuckled how my mother sent him right back to mount the cabin of Casey's regular engine #638 when he ran tattling to her that those hooligans and ruffians would not properly present their tickets to his conductor on the Fireball Mail, when Lonnie Hamby was just a fifth or sixth grader.

As my Mama recalled that incident it was that evening she called Lonnie Hamby's mother abd begged her to make certain that Lonnie Hamby made it to enter Columbia University in New York City, when his time came for college.

LONNIE HAMBY

HUMANSVILLE HIGH GRAD 1956



Mama never lived to see Mike Parson the Missouri State Governor, but she did live to see him Sheriff of Polk County and Representative to the Missouri House.

Mike Parson will also mount the cabin and release the Johnson brake someday for his last ride but so long as he's the Governor the rest of us riding along behind can be sure and certain we'll reach the next station on the nail.

Mikey has a pretty wife at his farm near Humansville he'd like to grow old with, before his Master calls.

CASEY'S LAST RIDE

Bytown Bluegrass 1979



A coward and a craven die a thousand deaths but the brave only one, then they join their family up above.

All Joey Biden needs to do is build a new fast railroad and forget about taxing Anderson lowers.

The others will tax them, in due time, when they realize their main legitimate use is old fat men playing hero at the shooting range.

And it is very extremely important the good guys never try to tax Anderson lowers or other faked up copies of the rifle McNamara put in the hands of millions of our brave soldiers.

Just this morning on my rounds off US Highway 54 I saw a big sign that read:

MISS ME YET?

TRUMP 2024

Let the Trumps ban the bump stocks.

The Christian heroes should build glorious rail roads.
