This Day in History: August 26

The officers commanding corps are to see that their men's arms are immediately cleaned and put in the best order possible; that the ammunition likewise be carefully inspected, and the proper number of rounds for each man completed; that the bayonets fix well; that the flints be screwed in fast, and every thing put in perfect readiness for action.

What?

You mean they didn't do this so the government would have authority to mandate gun registration???

That's from back when men were men and women were damn glad of it. What we got now is a bunch of educated poof boys posing as "experts" about the 2A, wrapping a penumbra in a misty-eyed lie, so when they're caught in the act of begging for their chains, they can lean on govt. to wipe away their shame. Indeed, a murderer is less to fear.
