Bullets from guns killed our beloved Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King and John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Bobby, The President's brother! What kind of an American society is at hands? While I support the NRA after observing the museums in WYOMING and believe in
Law and Order and the "Love of Hunting" by our sportsmen and women...THE ABSOLUTE HISTORY OF MAN is weaponry.
My Uncle Sam taught me well on th Fort Knox Reigfle Range inm 1966! Despite my non-sportsman life....I enjoyed learning with the M-14. I was a Sharpshooter. Never in Vietnam do I recall holding a rifle.
But let me tell you: A SMALL SEWER WAS DRAINED NEAR BY AND 14 m-14 RIFLESS WERE FOUND AT THE BOTTOM. Yes, some soldiers threw their rifles in the crap-pool. So...this is a matter to broach.
"NO BRASS OR AMMUNITION, SERGEANT!"..
Here's a thought:
Cigarettes, cigars and pipes kill more people each year than guns/!
I went to college in St. Louis, MO surrounded by the ghetto. From 1962 to graduation in February of 1965 I HAVE LIVED THE GRIM REALITY of working in Lou's Smoke Shop and booze parlor. Derelicts taught me in the way of reality.
O used to coach me in my practice of James T. "Red" Lawless.. "YOU GOTTSA USE YOUR HANDS, BOB. You know gesticulating is imperative in speech delivery. I received an "A" In
Business and Professional Speech! This training of self-con fidence has paved my "highway of life"...no sweaty palms...standing tall. Corporate-Aetna, Auctioneering, civic assignments..as Charlie Bush said "I KNOW THE WAY."
To be sure...Kennedys were eloquent, especially JFK. History says Abraham Lincoln had a
squeaky voice!
