Intruder Alert!

"Weapons designed for war have no place on the streets of a civilized society. The time has come for common sense laws to stop the proliferation of military-style assault weapons, while protecting the rights of law-abiding citizens who use guns for hunting, household defense, or legitimate recreational purposes."

-- Rabid anti-gun Senator Dianne Feinstein, Democrat, Peoples Republic of California --

Weapons of war?

You must be mistaken. Its a backscratcher, babe.

This is my son-in-law, Lt. Col. Michael Kasprzyk, United States Marine Corps, holding his latest acquisition, a Thompson M1 SBR .45 caliber home protection device. (Uh, make that backscratcher.)

Thinking of breaking and entering?  Colonel Kasprzyk now has thirty reasons to offer up for your consideration as to why that might not be a good idea.  And that's assuming he doesn't present a thirty-first, where he beats you over the head with that bad boy after trying to get you to change your mind with thirty rounds of steaming hot lead and you hadn't gotten the message.

By the way, he's scheduled to be deployed again later this month.  We wish him Godspeed.  Without patriots like Lt. Colonel Michael Kasprzyk "manning the walls" in this hostile and dangerous world, we'd all be in harm's way.

Here's to you, man.  You make us proud.

Note 1: I've already warned my neighbor that he will be hearing the countryside erupt one day when we take the Thompson to my shooting range and light it up. I just hope I don't wimp out and get set on my ass.

Note 2: I've applied for a 2nd mortgage to pay for the ammunition we'll be expending.

Note 3: To my daughter, a Christmas gift suggestion.
