Question of the Day: What’s the Most Important Gun You Own?
The Nazis confiscated my great grandfather’s gun, the rifle he used in the Austro-Hungarian Army. Thieves stole my father’s shotgun, which was never replaced. So I don’t have any family firearm heirlooms. My most “important” gun is a Grizzly Customs 1894 Marlin lever gun with a stock fashioned from American old-growth hardwood (circa 1000–1500 AD). It speaks to me in ways that no modern gun can. Hopefully, one of my daughters will cherish it as much as I do, beginning a family tradition uninterrupted by genocide (not to be Debbie Downer). What’s your most important gun?

Quote of the Day: Standing Athwart History Yelling ‘Stop’ Edition
“It used to be that you would hear young brothers saying, ‘I need this [handgun] to be safe in my neighborhood.’ Now I am hearing more adults say it. Rather than deal with the realities to stop the violence, we play into the fear.” – Rev. Michael Pfleger in High-crime and cop neighborhoods tops in concealed-carry permits [at suntimes.com]
