I nominate the pic of Harriet with the rifle. Reminds everyone that gun control is historically racist.

LOL. Only reason I do is for the crossword puzzle.

I put the Wa Po in the bottom of my cats litter box. He refused to use it.

I asked him why.

"Would be redundant he said.

It's the same photo in the $20 bill thread.

Yeah, the media narrative that's been running the last couple of days, i.e.: a white slave-owner is being replaced by an African-American woman should instead read: a white slave-owning Democrat is being replaced by an African-American Second Amendment loving, Christian, Republican woman.

Haven't really seen that be part of the media dialog however; wonder why...

Not going to happen for two reasons:
1- because guns. heads will explode.
2- poor muzzle control.

ETA: NRA should have a media campaign just over this issue. Show gun toting Tubman, while reminding people gun control was racist and still is.

I like this one better because better muzzle control.

I'd be surprised if she had a lever action rifle. If this is suppose to be her helping other slaves to freedom, wouldn't it have been before the Civil War?

She used to carry a pistol of some sort, a revolver perhaps.
She did carry a rifle during the War.

That picture in post 13 shows a generic suggestion of a rifle-like form, drawn by an artist too lazy to find a picture of a real rifle to copy. It looks like it comes from a modern children's book.

Yes, a typical pre-war rifle would be a single shot percussion muzzleloader, like the one in post 9.

There's a good article linked in the other thread.

Here it is:

All ready to go to press .....

^^ I vote that one!

Harriet Tubman would have been captured, enslaved, and / or executed if not for her exercising her Second Amendment rights.

Wall-sized murals of her "in action" as above posts show, should be painted on the sides of buildings in every inner city in America, as an inspiration and role model for law-abiding ownership of firearms.

That's brilliant. I hope they run with that.
