You know, that would make a better national slogan than e pluribus unum. While the original intent of "one out of many" was in regard to the colonies forming one nation, anymore some in Washington seem to think it means we should all be from a single mold. "Because I Can" has a much more independent and diverse tone to it.

That makes more sense than anything I've heard lately. I believe I'll use it in my signature.

A lot of pics could apply

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Sat May 28, 2011 10:38 am

I`ll agree with that.

Perhaps the new motto of Leverguns.com? "Because I can!" I have had this very same thought, Because I can, when justifying an action or process when fiddling/working/playing with guns and reloading.

Howdy,

I have followed this " Because I can" issue. IMHO to expand one's abilities, one must try to "see if I can."
What a great feeling it is when you succeed and can say "Because I can" after the test. Better to have tried than to have never tried.

I like it.

I have known a lot of people who have gotten into a lot of arguments trying to justify or rationalize all types of expecditures of time/money on gun-related things. I even found myself creating reasons for a time in my life - I rationalized why I "needed" something or to do something to that something and I realized one day it didn't matter and I didn't owe anybody an explanation (to include myself) based on logic, economics, practicality, return on investment, etc.

You may have to rethink that statement !

At the rate things have digressed with the present political administration you may find yourself soon saying ,

"Well I could BEFORE"

Hey now, i started that saying

"Because I can" is the phrase I answered with one time when a friend asked me why I grabbed a Tanker Garand before we walked down the driveway to the mailbox. It was easier to say than "I have muddy boots on so the wife will kill me if I go past the back door hallway, and that's the only gun there other than my 2" .22 LR revolver, and last month when I went to check the mail there were three feral (as in goat-eating) dogs trotting along the ditch there..."
Besides, it's reason enough. . . because I can. . .

That's a great one Pitchy.

Because I can may not apply to all of the states in our great nation. While some are headed in the direction of progress while others are stuck in the past in the cogs of an old and decrepid political machine that should have been sent to the scrap pile long ago.

I have two pics

Nobody will take my Cross down unless they pry my gun from my cold dead hands.
Why, because I can.

I have just always been intrigued by throwing the rifle up and seeing the target four times closer and sharper. Never shot one until I was 44.

Now Pitchy - that is and absolute classic!

Pitchy - maybe you should start a foundation - Because I Can - you can be CEO or President or Chairman of the Board.

Looks like members are clambering to get in.

That's what I tell my wife when I say I want/need another gun/motorcycle/dirt bike/fishing pole.

Also works when she asks why I'd love to move to Nevada and get my Class 3 license....

It's always been enough reason for me. Just because somebody else can't, ain't MY limits. If I can, I darned sure might, if it pleases me to do so.

We only get one ride on this big rock. Enjoy it, because you can.

Pitchy, I've got to say you've got an excellent sense of humor. Your picture of you in your redneck jacuzzi is fantastic.

Naw. Just clear stuff like water. Has an interesting smell and, oh yea, it burns.

The rest is a realy bad grape juice and it gets tossed out. I don't like wine.
