It's pretty easy. I scored 100%. It is a 30 question test. The last one I admit I guessed it right.

Missed the plastic fantastic question, and the Columbine question.  I don't/won't carry a plastic pistol, and I was out of the loop (so to speak) during the Columbine fiasco.

I got one wrong that I know of and it gave me a score of 28/30.   ???   I knew it was wrong when I clicked on it but it was too late to stop and change my answer. I took the test again hours later and can't figure out what else I missed. I almost clicked the wrong answer on the plastic gun too even though I knew the right answer. I need to slow down a little when I take tests like this. I always blow it because I don't think about things enough.

Thing is their answer isn't right either.
Steyr was first, not H&K.

The question about the attempted assassination of Gerald Ford is wrong as well,I remember the report saying that squeaky frome (Sp) was unfamiliar with the safety on the 1911 she used.

I remember that she never chambered a round.  Some web reports substantiate that premise. 

First presidential election for me...  Absentee ballot my first year in the military! 

One of my favorite HS teachers was married to Gerry's niece.  Though not originally from Grand Rapids, MI, GR surely adopted old Gerry as their prodigal sun.  A U of M Wolverine!  His library is quite an attraction in GR.

I don't recall, but last year or so one of the trust worthy members here posted some thing about it and I looked it up to verify it.
It was an obscure model that never sold well.

Not Squeaky, the other one, Sarah Jane Moore.
Seems odd that such a non controversial guy as Ford had 2 attempts made on him, both by women.
