      Sorry John, but there was an act of congress passed last week that personally holds you responsible for everything bad that happens ever. You've officially been named as the cause of Hurrican Sandy, John Travolta, Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher and Justin Bieber.

      I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

          True. What must make it more unpalatable is that the same act linked all good things to Marc Clifton. So Marc is officially responsible for bacon. Do remember to thank him next time you see him.

                                      It would more be a small inventory of small guns.

                                        I only have six rifles (three are .22, two of which were used for silhouette competition and one is a 60-year-old Winchester Model 94 that's never been fired), and two handguns. I haven't bought a new gun in more than two years (I gave my dad's old handguns to my sister). I would definitely call my inventory small by pretty much any definition or comparison you might care to present. :)

                                          I have a small collection also, but what is important is that you can use what you have effectively. A semi-auto with 30 rounds might be effective at holding off a bunch of thugs trying to hurt my family, but a bolt action larger bore with a scope might be more effective at providing dinner when the supermarkets run out of food.
