The first post here is the one that makes sense (and not a choice in the poll...). Sometimes more really is actually better and in this case the glock will be nice for some things and the colt for other. One is not "better" for all purposes, and all people, then the other. -Boyd
Quizmeister ; ) the post you replied to mentioned collective rights only in passing with a smiley at the end and -in- -parenthesis-. The -point- of the post was the sentence at the -front-: "the national guard was formed more then 100 years after the constitution"... please pay attention ; ) You...
