#4 GBMC, mine's a bit more 'broken-in' - don't have serial # handy, but no more than a '1' where you have the '3.' My grandfather was issued it in 1915. Inherited it with one mag still loaded - but spring still works (haven't tried the ammo, but it LOOKS clean.)

#6 The response to Bobber Baitman is worth the read.

Its a Military Man weighing in against a member of the military, and I appreciate the counter against some nobody trying to be somebody's parti discussion du jour. Le tyrant petite is obviously refuted for waiving his pencil thin understanding of the constitution, and my second reaction to that rag with, hell then I'm gonna buy or manufacture as many ar15shotguns as possible as quickly as possible, which would meteor the market value, then sell at a 50% margin to a product which say $1000 increases 1000% value, to the government, who would have to come up with the money. It would ruin the value of the dollar, and guess what, there are people on both sides of the law who would never give up all of their firearms, so there would be no effect on firearms.

That is, unless the pencilwrist is being dishonest and fails to expand of the necessary of the necessaries of state: authoritarian takeover and shutdown of private manufacturing facilities, including any and all facilities which may or could contain tools used in the manufacturing of firearms. Firearm being anything which uses the expansion of gas to propell a mass over distance, then you are talking potato guns so now he is talking about, well, everything.

#7 LTC Bateman should re-read his Constitution. He either has forgotten certain parts of the Constitution, selectively obeys it, or he never took his oath seriously in the first place.

#8 Making comments for action against US civilians while representing the Armed Forces should be a no no, at the very least it justifies the loonies.

And he is supposed to be some sort of tactician? Where does he account for foreign governments and criminals funneling in weapons and ammo, right Mexico?
