favorite gun-related quotes
mine is:
quote:A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.
--- Thomas Jefferson to Peter Carr, 1785.

I saw this one last night:
"Try to love your enemy but keep your gun oiled"0 -
British merchant John Nelson, writing to the Board of Trade in 1696, argued that the neutrality of border regions was a positive element that could only play into English hands in the long run; Acadians and Indians preferred British goods and got better prices from British markets. Their self-interest would lead them willingly to embrace England, if handled with patience. But the colonial powers in England and in France were committed to a system in which all trade must be funneled through the mother country, a system which must forever entangle New World colonies in Old World feuds.
The Acadians preferred to trade with New England. Over the years, both friendships and family ties had developed. This relationship began to sour, however, after the French and Indian attack on Deerfield, Massachusetts, in 1704. Though Acadians were not involved, they were a target of opportunity for revenge-minded Yankees; soon thereafter, the seeds were sown for a "final solution" to the French problem. In 1709 Samuel Vetch first made the argument for replacing the French Acadians with Protestant settlers. The idea was shelved, but not forgotten. A detailed plan for removal was carefully prepared by Charles Morris in 1754. "That document," argues Faragher, "is the smoking gun of Acadian removal, indisputable evidence of the premeditation of the operation"
