About muskets, the author wrote: “When people did die from these weapons, it was often because of lead poisoning...”

I couldn’t get through the rest of the article after that.

Nobody else saw that?

Saw a comment by an idiot arguing that the Second doesn’t apply to modern weapons, because that back then, it took 10 minutes to reload & shoot a musket.
