I guess it could be seen as condemned by faint praise, Fox. I meant it as a compliment, drawing on Isaiah Berlin's famous essay "The Hedgehog and the Fox." He got the idea from a Greek poet: "a fox knows many things, but a hedgehog one important thing."

An expanded and my edited version from Wikipedia: Berlin divides "writers and thinkers into two categories: hedgehogs, who view the world through the lens of a single defining idea, and foxes, who draw on a wide variety of experiences and for whom the world cannot be boiled down to a single idea."

I'm a fox who's like a hedgehog knowing one thing for sure: Your posts are the most entertaining for me on the board. Probably because of your wide interests, and we share memories of the minutia of the same times. I think, as a feminist often advocating for women, you're hard on women (possibly for good reasons) and I'll take an early CZ over a Model 70 any time.

Canadians are provincial in the sense of a relatively small population trying to make a federation of strong, accommodating, inclusive community values. It's an experiment. As for border hassles, attribute them mostly to your homeland security. Gun laws are expressions of national will through our Parliament. With a tenth of your population, Canada projects only soft power.

Yes indeed, it sho 'nuff do. Especially with dat Ol' Kingfish, Mr. Slicky Willie givin' us de bell-ringin' endorsement of O'Bammy Care. All O'Bammy done cares 'bout be he golf game--

Are you a racist, Francis?

I bought some Red Army Standard ammo that was on sale there and also learned something I did not know. I found brand new fifteen shot Smith & Wesson 5946 pistol there. My friend told me they still make them for certain police departments. The price of $650 was very reasonable for brand new stainless steel gun with Trijicon night sights. Amazingly those guns cost the same in late nineties when they were offered for sale to the public.

Thought this was about Bass Pro and Cabelas. I was told recently via PM not to read threads that had RvL political content I was not interested in. Now you are making it impossible. Plenty of other sites to discuss how you think guns should be controlled or how absolute the 2dA is. Personal vendettas are childish and have no place on a scholarly discussion board. I'm asking you to take that stuff there and let this great board be the way it was. Failing that maybe settle it with percussion pistols at dawn......

Bob. Flintlock pistols are just way more sporting!

Sabres...Under the Oaks...at Dawn...

just ban them all and lets get back to discussing old guns, it does get tiring

I suggest the "rabble-rousers" be given a 30 day "Time-Out" with a clear statement that these types of personal attacks and political blather will not be tolerated.

As L.K stated "just ban them all and lets get back to discussing old guns, it does get tiring"

I think I saw a note in the business news today..."did Bass Pro waste 5.5 billion on Cabelas?"
