Legal Marijuana

Proposal one was passed and many people think that because of it now anyone who wants some can just go down to the local pot shop and say that they got cancer and then everyone'll be pot heads. But really it is pretty much completely opposite, there are all kinds of rules and papers that you have to have to have just to get any. And it helps people that are fighting cancer or recovering and it helps them to keep down food so they can get better, and there is no other kind of medicine for that that works as good as that. That is my thoughts on medical marijuana.

The Enfield No.4 Mk.1* Bolt action rifle was made during World War 2 in Canada, Great Britain, and in the U.S. by the Savage Arms Company. They were used mainly by the British, The Canadians, and also the Australians and Polish to an extent. They shoot the .303 Caliber bullet, which is roughly between a .308 and a .270. They weighed roughly around 9 pounds. The sights on it are peep sights, and there were 3 different types of peep sights for them, the adjustable micrometer sight, the flip up peep set for 300yds. and 600yds., and another type of flip up peep sight was set for 200yds. and 400yds.The bolt action was different than any of the other mauser type actions because it was a "cock on closing" action where mauser type actions "cock on opening" the bolt. The bolt works very smooth and it was designed to be able to be worked rapidly so you can get more shots off in a short amount of time in a combat situation. It is fed by a removable 10 round magazine, it had the highest capacity magazine of any bolt action rifle of WWII. They are also generally very accurate and they made some of the best sniper rifles of WWII out of them. The Lee Enfield .303 rifle was used continuously by Britain for around 60+ years which was argueably the longest service life of any bolt action rifle, Is is even still in use by other countries to this day. There were also several other types of Lee Enfield Rifles, some of which were the No.1 Mk.3, the Jungle Carbine and The No.4 Mk.2. I own only one of these and it is a No.4 Mk.1* that was made by Savage in 1944, but someday I hope to get a No.1 Mk.3.
The Lee Enfield rifle was considered by many the best bolt action rifle of World War Two.
