Of course you and Doug didn't see eye to eye on politics. He was a pro-gun Conservative who despised anti-gunners and people who worked to undermine our 2nd Amendment. He told me that he quit posting here because he was sick of Socialist weenies, Libtards, FUDD's, and Trolls like you and SKB. I'd bet he'd roll over in his grave if he heard your pal Mustela frenata tell us about his affiliations here. I'm sure glad I didn't blue any barrels for him using the formulas and techniques Doug taught me.
Interesting to see your lame excuses for violating the law by illegally crossing the U.S.-Canadian border with an undeclared firearm. Drug cartels move tons of heroin and cocaine across the border every year without getting caught. But they are still breaking the law.
It is an especially interesting admission considering how you had gone on for several days calling me a liar when I mentioned your illegal border crossings. You never did apologize for calling me a liar. No surprise there. Then when I produced a QUOTE from you admitting just that, you changed your story and tried to tell us that the Ruger .22 pistol was actually a Savage model 24. But we all know that carry and possession of a Savage model 24 wasn't "mostly prohibited", but a pistol was.
Carry is mostly prohibited but the Mounties told me when I bought my first one 60-odd years ago that I'd never have any trouble anywhere if I used common sense, not do something foolish with people around. Used it in our wide open spaces and forgot to remove it several times crossing the border in my aircraft.
My comment about minor misdemeanors was tongue in cheek. What you did was a felony here, and certainly a serious felony in anti-gun Canada. One that would cost you your right to possess any firearm for life, and probably put you in prison.
I was the one who gave you that line about not being able to make good wine without good grapes. Plagiarism is a form of flattery, I suppose. I said that after noting that you were the smallest grower of grapes for Jost Winery... after seeing you go on for years acting like this award winning wine was made by you.
So what are your other hobbies besides growing grapes? To me, it appears that you also enjoy lying, bloviating, and trying to undermine our 2nd Amendment.... your legacy here. My opinion is based solely upon what you post here. Give my regards to J.F.K. and Martin Luther King, OK.
