The right to bear arms allows U.S. citizens to have personal freedom to choose whether to arm themselves or not...I don't like guns personally, but I COMPLETELY support anyone else's right to own a firearm if they so wish. I personally don't see how there is a conflict of interest with Lynyrd Skynyrd performing Saturday Night Special. Ronnie was just talking about the dangers of handguns....which I understand...but this country was founded on God and guns essentially.....personal protection was far more an issue back then than it is now.

Good post, angel!

(Although the issue of personal protection depends partly on where you live.)

True....I guess i'm spoiled living out in the country where there is rarely any need for personal protection from fellow humans

. Although, now the hunters are getting their guns fired up at the local gravel pit.....so the familiar sound of gunfire is becoming more of a daily occurence. I'll be seeing dead bucks in the back of trucks soon enough! Mmmm, venison!

Good post, again!

That reminds me of the lyrics to this song:

Quote:

The preacher man says it’s the end of time
And the Mississippi River she’s a goin’ dry
The interest is up and the Stock Markets down
And you only get mugged
If you go down town

I live back in the woods, you see
A woman and the kids, and the dogs and me
I got a shotgun rifle and a 4-wheel drive
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

I can plow a field all day long
I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn
We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
Ain’t too many things these ole boys can’t do
We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

Because you can’t starve us out
And you cant makes us run
Cause one-of- ‘em old boys raisin ole shotgun
And we say grace and we say Ma’am
And if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn

We came from the West Virginia coalmines
And the Rocky Mountains and the and the western skies
And we can skin a buck; we can run a trot-line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

I had a good friend in New York City
He never called me by my name, just hillbilly
My grandpa taught me how to live off the land
And his taught him to be a businessman
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway nights
And I’d send him some homemade wine

But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
For 43 dollars my friend lost his life
Id love to spit some beechnut in that dudes eyes
And shoot him with my old 45
Cause a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

Cause you can’t starve us out and you can’t make us run
Cause one-of- ‘em old boys raisin ole shotgun
And we say grace and we say Ma’am
And if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn

We’re from North California and south Alabam
And little towns all around this land
And we can skin a buck; we can run a trot-line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

Hank, Jr. is right.

It's the country life for me till I die.
