    As I said before, hunting season opens 20 January. Pick your targets NOW.

    Do any BATFags live in YOUR neighborhood???

    Donald J. Trump banned the bump stock. Now it’s pistols with a brace. It’s not the BRACE, it’s the pistol they are after. Next it will be the AR / AK type rifles that will be registered. Then they will come collect them. Donald J. Trump did this. Donald J. Trump is a weak man, a terrible president, and the most destructive man for gun rights that the United States has ever seen. And some of you, including the owner of this blog, voted for him twice, even knowing all of this.

    Nobody is going DO anything or fight back in any meaningful way at all. You deserve what you get. Weakness. Spiritual weakness, intellectual blindness. Pathetic.

    Administrations come and administrations go, one way or another.
    Do you think all these people have been clearing the cases & building their own guns are doing it just so the government can confiscate them?
    Remember, governments have murdered more people than any other entity, even natural disasters.

    Ok, Fred. You are good at coming on here to bloviate to all us lesser mortals the Gospel According to Fred. Now tell us, what are YOU going to do? Other than calling other men weak, blind and pathetic? When are you taking to the field? When are you hoisting the black flag and slitting throats? Or do you just want other men to do that for you?

    Trump is the “most destructive man for gun rights that the United States has ever seen.”? I have my issues with Trump, but I also remember my history. FDR and LBJ both signed sweeping firearm control laws that plague us to this day. Reagan signed into law the Hughes Amendment. Were all these less harmful than banning bumpstocks?

    Does turning them all in include the armed security details of the enlightened swamp beings?
    If all comrades of the collective are onboard with the building it back better “historic” landslide victory for Slow Joe then there shouldn’t be any need for those scary mean firearms.

    If I am to be turned into a felon then I will embrace it. I will endeavor to be the best felon I can be.
    After all I don’t want to let down my fellow Virginian criminals – Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Lee, Jackson, etc.
    Always remember – your ancestors are watching.

    Nice comment Fred. And you exempt yourself from deserving all of this … how?

    I especially like the way you cracked under the slightest pressure and became a circular firing squad, taking aim at people who have done nothing to you. I don’t think you could do any better if you were a paid PsyOps agent for China.

    I especially liked the way you used band width you don’t pay for, on a web site you don’t host ($ / month) and on which you spend no time to maintain, to trash the author.

    This was really encouraging this morning. Thanks for that.

    Doesn’t matter. I’ve been considering where this all goes anyway. I’m tired of silhouetting on the roof top only to have people trash me in the comments. I have better things to do than get beaten up by readers. It may be time to bring this all to an end.

    Funny. I was just reading Col 4:6 this morning.

    Yeah, Fred – we all know by now that you hate Trump. I also voted for Trump twice. I still believe he’d be a better president than Cammy Harris.

    Who did you vote for?

    Herschel,
    For what it’s worth I enjoy your writings immensely. Irreverence and a sense of humor goes a long way to curing life’s ills.
    We need the “freds” of the world don’t we? They can remind us what not to be – my younger friends would call him black pilled.
    He would be the skulker or the shirker. The left behind.
    Or perhaps he’s having a bad day – I don’t know.
    Carry the Torch my friend.
    James 1:12

    I very much enjoy this blog as well and would hate to see Herschel go. I hope he stays around.

    Fred aint 100% wrong….so to speak, in a small way.
    But, Fred is also, Full of Himself.
    The worst part is, his attack against those to at havent done his dirty work. For him.
    Hmmm, what else does fred need help with

    For every “fred” there’s probably a 1000 or more of us who appreciate, learn from and enjoy their daily visit to this site. I have a list of daily sites that I visit each morning and this is the second stop of the day for me (sorry, Day by Day is first..gotta have a laugh to start the day).

    Totally agree with JJ, George 1 and Ole Red, I enjoy your blog Herschel, always read it after work. I remember the first time I read it, and Fred had posted something stupid, I thought WTF, why hasn’t this guy blocked that SOB from posting on his blog. Over the years, Fred kinda grew on me, sometimes posting something worth reading, but so predictable about Trump and the right. I always thought of him as one of those guys who has not heard of holding your nose and voting for the least of the evils (that could win) when voting. I head that ding-dong Libertarian presidential candidate on the “Gun Talk” radio show, total idiot. So if you voted for her Fred, what a waste…
