natural, and human rights of its citizens and citizens of other
nations - including, of course, the United States of America.

Note: Without a doubt, the Combat Arms BBS is probably
the best and most complete firearms related bulletin
board in the United States. However, files may not be
downloaded unless one joins the BBS by paying a fee.
Complete details are displayed at intial log-in. Well
worth the fees assessed. SysOp seems to work hard at
updating material. Easy-to-use BBS. For the non-fee
payer, there are scores of bulletins to examine and
capture plus a message base. If you only join one fee-
paid BBS, join this one. SysOp is gun store owner,
manufacturer as well as a graduate student. Other files
on BBS relate to science, math, aviation and law.
