Weapon's of war

I have heard that the bagpipes were once a banned instrument because they were considered to be a weapon of war. But a banjo?

You gotta check this out.

I am not so sure this guy was attacking the bull, maybe he was just trying to tune the banjo yā€™all know how frustrating that can be. I hope it wasnā€™t his new ā€œTwangerā€

Not sure what those articles say, but I read about it on bluegrass today, the guy had a banjo shaped piece of metal. Shame, cuz thatā€™s gonna be really bad PR for banjos

Yeah, every time some dumb person drives in front of a train and gets killed, the news say ā€œtrain hits carā€, not ā€œcar drives in front of trainā€. :thinking:

So instead of ā€œSpeed killsā€, ā€œacceleration killsā€.

Unless you own a Remington. Approximately 7.5 million rifles are subject to recall to fix a nasty habit of firing all by themselves. Remington finally admitted the defect and has settled.

Wowā€¦ Never heard of thatā€¦ clearly.

Well, ALMOST NEVER

Yep, thatā€™s why the common sense gun safety rules are there. If you own one of those rifles, and it shoots someone, itā€™s on you, cuz you shouldnā€™t be pointing loaded guns at anyone EVER
