Wow, I'm seeing Andy in Everson in a whole new light.

The 17th century outlaw is a clear and present danger.

Another Crock of garbage from the Left.

Our Founding Fathers never imagined modern muzzle loaders

 

[CountryGent]

Odd that they are targeting muzzleloaders now. Was there a sudden uptick in drive by shootings with flintlocks?

We need to save a life and ban a knife.

We should also outlaw gravity. Far to many people die because of the effects of gravity.

Muzzleloaders want to ban Gabby Giffords.... my money is on the muzzleloaders.

Beware the highwayman.

The group views the centuries-old firearms technology, which was rendered obsolete shortly after the Civil War due to advancements in self-contained ammunition cartridges and semi-automatic; self-loading firearms, as dangerous because a silencer can legally be attached to it without the paperwork or tax stamp associated with other firearms silencers.

"Cue the .50 caliber muzzleloader, which delivers a particularly lethal .50 caliber round," the report said. "This weapon is designed with a built-in device to suppress its sound. If any other firearm were built with such a device, it would be subject to the NFA as a silencer. But since this device is designed to suppress the sound of something that is exempt from federal firearms laws, it is not considered a silencer and not subject to the NFA. In fact, it is not subject to any laws at all and can be bought online."


Can you show me one of these? Whats the device that is suppressing the .50 cal sound on a muzzle loader?

As if some of those old guns were not unweildy as is - throw an extra 12 inches on the front for a .50 cal silencer...which would have to be removed before every shot, to afford safe reloads. Adding way more time between shots. They should be celebrating muzzle loading silncers for slowing their incredible high rates of fire to a safer, more sane level Perhaps a law disallowing the ramrod to be stowed on the rifle, and another mandating ammunition and ram rods be stowed/carried individually, and powder must be stored seperately from bullets and wads. Minimum barrel length of 40 inches...

Or maybe Gabby Giffords should just pull her lower lip over her head and swallow. I felt bad for her when she was assaulted years ago. I no longer do.
