Lately, though, I've been getting the itch to put a wood stock on my rifle to "pretty it up" a little. What do y'all prefer? There are 3 certainties in an uncertain world: 1. All Politicians Are Liars 2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement 3. Taxation Is Theft

Make sure and bring plenty of Beer. My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.
