What facinates me about guns?. Somthing that I wonder about. I'm 46 and have had time to wonder. Both my parents were Philly bred rowhouse, street and city generated individuals. They met and married in the Marine Corp. My Father was the most liberal (but would search everything). Mom trusted and was the conservitive. However, Dad convinced Mom I could have a .22 with M.C training...MORE THAN .22 . They did that for kids back then. I was a member of the Junior Rangers. I was 8 years old. Dad and his M.C. buddies continued and I won a lot of patches ect. in NRA Comp. We went hunting and Dad never shot a thing. He couldn't kill a wild animal,yet he had ended the lives of many people with a rifle that he taught me how to work. He would shoot pests and such after we moved to the country when I was a young teenager. And enjoyed my gunsstuff.( With my weapons). He was the Best Father. There is more to the story.... but that other Marine is making food for her Club group and I have got to help or get out of the way. My better half says RUN.... Why do we have this fondness for guns? I can't answer your question directly. It could be self preservation. Intercity thinking (like the Bowery boys), war, country living gives you a perspective that is hard to put into words. Oh NO! 5 Pounds of greeted cheese!!!!! and a 78 yr old Marine and a 35 yearold Redhead standing there. Elbow hurting I can now hit enter. HELP!!!!
