Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Amazing pic!!

Saw a Zippo lighter in the Zippo museum in Bradford, PA once. Had a German bullet stuck in it. Neat story. Last time I was there the display and story was there, family had reclaimed the lighter.

I'd guess a minimum of five rounds...
