when i was that young i went to the hardware store and bought my mosberg lever action 22 as well as a couple boxes of ammunition , and walked two miles home with it on my shoulder , no one even looked ,
my friends and i were hunting with our shotguns in the cornfields and in the woods along the river , that was around 1960 so well before the ATF forms

Great stories!
It's true that our freedom to enjoy our chosen sport has become an easy target for politicians trying to make a name for themselves. But I bet that kids playing violent computer games in every spare moment will grow up with more mental health issues than someone who has been brought up with firearms and proper handling and an outdoor life.

I agree 100% on that Zed, instead of playing out of doors on beautiful warm sunny spring days like we had yesterday, they`d rather stay cooped up indoors playing video games; our next gen drone commanders I guess. Me I was out at my first session of becoming a Handgun proficiency training, instructor/mentor. I`ve also noticed fewer people especially kids, out and about playing and enjoying nature. Just me and my elderly neighbors, I guess when we`re gone the world will be lost, there will be no one left to tell them whats what. lol

I distinctly remember being asked what the odd diamond-shaped inset plate, with a 1/4" hole in it & a pair of springs on the sides was for. It was on the bottom of the forend was on my old BSA.22RF. An odd little tube magazine fed bolt action. It actually allowed the cover stud on top of the windscreen of an MG Midget to be used as a rest! (don't ask)

How true. We are fortunate here in the US, the 2nd Amendment has stopped the democrats from banning firearms all together and introducing other laws that just make it harder for us who abide by the existing laws. It is absolutely a mental health issue. And the media does not help by sensationalizing the tragedies that have occurred. Part of the plan of our extreme leftists is to not prosecute crimes with firearms, they want this to get much worse which gives them the reasons to clamp down on us gun owners even more. A long way from the OP, I was just enjoying a nice spring day on the old Velo.

Yes the thread seems to have veered of the track!
Love the Velocete. What a lovely day for a spin too. This year it's still quite cold; but hopefully I will get the Jeep out of winter hibernation soon. Have do the same for the XT500 too.

Loved those times....although I wished we had a/c back then. I brought my dad's new-to -us DCM M1 carbine to show and tell. Most were in awe....until classmate friend Jimmy displayed his dad's Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 mag.

I remember going to the hardware store to buy 22 ammo with a note from my Mom.
