Knows too little about too much |
Nothing more needs to be said. RMD TL Davis: “The Second Amendment is special, not because it protects guns, but because its violation signals a government with the intention to oppress its people…” Remember: After the first one, the rest are free. | ||

I think it would be a rare gun owner who isn’t touch by one of his designs. Besides the guns he brought to production, so many operate in ways related that he brought to production. | |||

Lawyers, Guns and Money |
J.M. Browning was born into a Mormon settler family in Ogden, Utah, on January 23, 1855. His parents, Jonathan Browning and Elizabeth Clark, were Mormons who settled in Utah after the Mormon Exodus of 1847. By the age of 11, John had created his first firearm from castaway pieces and took it hunting, providing his family with three prairie chickens for the family’s dinner. By the time he was 18, John Browning had taken over his father’s business. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Today is also my middle son’s 16th birthday. A buddy of mine remarked about how he shared a birthday with JMB. Strangely I didn’t know that until today. —————————————————— If the meek will inherit the earth, what will happen to us tigers? | |||

Happy Birthday Sir, and on behalf of the Gun Community: THANK YOU!

Some of his guns were left to the Charles Russell Museum in the early 80's by his grandson. At the time, only a few of them were on display due to a lack of room. The ones I saw were new in the box with some having hang tags. https://visitgreatfallsmontana...-c-m-russell-museum/ 41 | |||

Browning is a personal hero of mine. My daughter’s middle name is Browning in honor of John Moses Browning. Thank you sir for sharing your genius with the world. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

His namesake and heir has a place here. He’s also a member at King Kamehameha Golf Club and joined a couple of us for lunch once. When introductions were made I had no idea he was “that” John Browning and guns never came up in the conversation. Nice guy.This message has been edited. Last edited by: P210, | |||

I've mentioned in the past that I had an office in his Ogden mansion. The owner showed me what looked like a small pistol range in the basement. I still think the original A5 is the most durable and reliable semi-auto shotgun. __________________________ | |||

A new book came out last year." The Guns of John Moses Browning" by Nathan Gorenstein. My older brother who is the most liberal person I know sent it to me. He doesn't own a single gun but watches Hickock 45. Brothers are Great! | |||

I think Browning's ripple was big enough to permanently affect the entire firearm world, forever. We believe arming our fellow Americans – both physically and philosophically – helps them fulfill our Founding Fathers' intent with the Second Amendment: To serve as a check on state power. | |||
