Nickels were only made of a silver alloy during WW II. (I don't know why. Maybe the copper was needed for the war effort) You can identify silver nickels by the prominent mint mark on the back.
Interesting, I had never heard of "silver nickels" before now. And I always thought the reason they were called nickels was because they were made of Nickel...
Nickel was/is a strategic material. It's vital to making certain grades of steel, among other things. It's quite possible that for a brief time, during WWII we did make "silver" nickels, I'm not doubting that, I had just never heard of it, before.
I know that for one year (1943) we made pennies out of "zinc-steel" to conserve copper for the war effort. We did a bunch of things "for the war effort", including outlawing sliced bread.
As to the NRA being able to charge me, I don't see how they could, as they have neither my back account # or any card # of mine.
The fine print in things can be vital, especially in the computer age. There are places that will automatically sign you up for their services, and the only way to cancel is to reply to them IN WRITING (not e-mail an actual written on paper letter) and by a certain day of the month.
I think its best to avoid those places, but you have to read ALL the fine print to know and that's a pain, which is what they're banking on...
LaPierre was a good guy for us, decades ago, and did some good work, but today he has become a classic example of the old saying that "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts, absolutely".
He has besmirched the honor of a fine organization, and of gun owners in general.
For him, I say pistols at 10 paces at dawn would be approriate...
