The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Yeah, cut it down. It'll be the last Sluggo that tree will ever eat again.  |

Yeah, same here. Thing went like a rocket. At least I know I get good distance.
Also tested my line strength. I cut the line, then wrapped it around a stick and pulled as hard as I could, it wouldnt break! This is 15lb mono  |
