A sub story: How we came to having a truck manufacturing plant in Niagra, Ont.

Kennecott Copper developed a copper mine in Chile, and after it was on line, Chile nationalized the property. Kennecott said, "Fine, we'll leave. Just pay us the 84 million dollars we spent developing this mine." Chile wondered who they thought they were. After all Chile was a country,...

As I believe many of you reading this blog probably are, I am seriously infatuated with history. My college degree is in history, not because I could do anything with it, but because it has always been that interesting to me. I've always loved and been interested in all things military, current and past, which extends into my other interest: guns and shooting.

shooting in AZ

Posted 01-09-2011 at 21:17 by bigghoss

I'm telling you right now. there is no law you can pass that can prevent a tragedy like what happened in Arizona and I promise you that any piece of legislature aimed at doing so will serve only to prevent honest people from defending themselves against those who seek to do evil and ultimately contribute to more deaths than it could prevent.
