In reply to the discussion: MAGA Gov Candidate's Ugly, Hateful Rant: "Some Folks Need Killing!" [View all]GiqueCee
(5,029 posts)46. The original Henry...
... was the first successful repeating rifle to take a metal cartridge if I recall correctly, and the precursor to the legendary Winchester. I've had a couple of .30-30s, a Marlin and a Winchester. Had a Winchester .25-20 with a tang-mounted peep sight. It had the falling-block action, which gave you a nice crisp trigger, not like later model Winchesters with that sloppy trigger even at full cock.
I've never fired a Henry; maybe someday. I know the originals had no forestock because of the loading tube's configuration. I'm getting all wonky here, so I'l shut up. Have a nice day!

OP
I agree, I think I can't be shocked anymore given the last few years, but this does shock me.

Reading is hard! Standing up in church, waving a bible and talking about killing people is way more fun.

There was a time when something as bat shit insane as this would sink a campaign and ruin the candidate's career.

Mark, many of your fellow conservatives considered your skin color to be "some people".
