MP40, I believe that we are 'on the same page', as regards the 'Crime Bill'- 'Crime Law', whatever you happen to call it. I call it a, 'Crime Law ', because that is what it is, "a law", in effect. The 'officials' may call it a 'Crime Bill', but is it not,it is a law. If there were only more of us to vote the 'libs' out of office!!! I do sincerely hope that the '1994 Crime Bill' sunsets!! Regards, Walter

MP40, all I can say is that, truly, you are a brother or comrade, (not in a communist sense, but in a military sense-'comrades in arms'). Thank-you, Walter

On Sunday, October 16, 1859, between the hours of 1O:OO and 11:00 P.M., John Brown, of Kansas notoriety, entered the town of Harpers Ferry, Virginia, with eighteen men, took hostage some of its prominent citizens, and captured the federal arsenal. His intention, as he later made clear, was to liberate the slaves in the surrounding territory and form them into an army which would then free the Negroes throughout the South. Without an efective and detailed plan of action, Brown's "army" was surrounded on the afternoon of October 17 by local militia. After a brief skirmish, it was captured on the morning of October I 8 by marines under the command of Colonel Robert E. Lee, of the United States Army. Though Brown and some of his followers fought courageously, the raid, for all practical purposes, was a fiasco resulting in the death or capture of the insurgents, but its long-range effect on both northern and southern emotions far exceeded the wildest dreams of those who planned it. Accounts of the raid and the subsequent trial and execution of John Brown attracted national attention, nd the event became a symbol to both sides in the Civil War.

John Browns body lies a molder'n in his grave "His Truth is Marching On"

Arthur, could you please explain your "fascinating"reference to John Brown?

Chris, this might be a good time to move this to the non-related posts....And sorry Norm, for "high-jacking" your post!

Really Arthur, what is with this American Civil War fixation? Are you trying to confuse the issue? The issue is, I believe that there would be a market for a quality 'replica' Thompson (full-auto), if the 1986 Crime Law is repealed or declared unconstitutional!! Regards, Walter
