It appears someone had a FAFO day!

[monkeyshine]

Was it a flintlock? Blunderbuss?

[DoughtyOne]

Ouch. That’ll leave a mark.

More gun violence caused by Weapons Of War in civilian hands... (sobbing)

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I remember the 1960s when Vermont had NO murders. Then came the Democrats..

[Menehune56]

I’m elderly?

Not releasing identities means a black guy was breaking in and got shot.

Own a musket for home defense, since that’s what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. “What the devil?” As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he’s dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it’s smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, “Tally ho lads” the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.....

The DOJ will be on him for possessing a ghost gun.

I suppose that will make the progs change up the old “2Amendment is about muzzle loaders” propaganda.

.

Turns out the old muzzle loaders will blow tunnels through an azzhole breaking into a home.

Can’t be having normal American Citizens armed with something that actually works.

Those muzzle loaders need to be banned and confiscated.

Replacement rape whistles will be provided for a small fee.

A pair of 1860 Colt .44 muzzleloaders could be quite effective...

Blacks are “Disproportionately represented” in the number shot while committing robbery

[simpson96]

My first thought was, I hope it was a blunderbuss.

Leave ‘em with some lifelong souvenirs.

All 3 black guys in Vermont were down in Burlington at the time.

You DO NOT want to get hit by a big chunk of muzzleloader lead!

Large and tend to deform to transmit all the KE to the target.

My .62 caliber smoothbore flintlock with 110 grains of black powder behind a 342 grain lead ball would do a lot of damage!

[TalBlack]

Wow. That hadda’ be some bang.

[Leaning Right]

A muzzleloader? Where do people get such advanced weaponry? I’m dependent on this item for my home defense.

[BradyLS]

I LOLed!
