I recently re-read The Wine-Dark Sea by Patrick O’Brian. It is book 16 in the Aubrey/Maturin series. One episode in the novel describes Dr. Stephen Maturin riding a mule into the Andes to meet with conspirators who are plotting the overthrow of the Spanish government in Peru.

And despite the restrictions we have on our freedoms, those manufacturers can offer a wider variety of their firearms in the U.S. than most anywhere else in the world. One notable exception to this reality is the absence of the Heckler & Koch G36 on the U.S. civilian market, but H&K is doing its best to change this—with a rimfire G36 we can own now and the hopes of a centerfire G36 in the…
