[TheForge] Sighting in Rifles

[Peter Fels And Phoebe Palmer]

The firearms argument tends to have a rural/urban divide.
The only thing to shoot in the city is other people.
I own guns, wear a seatbelt, etc and don't think it's the govt's 
business...
even though i shared a hospital room for a long week with a 
handsome young vegitable..he will never walk out of there or 
speak a word and good folks lives are spent taking care of the 
body. He was an adult when he crashed...who should pay for his care?
Uh oh, i hear the list mom calling...
Rigged up an old pump from a coleman stove as a damper cylinder 
on my pop-up-torch so that it closes the valves more gently when 
i step off the foot pedal....pf
