I suppose you could fire a nail by holding down the safety. But hauling that compressor and a long extension cord would make it a bit less usable than, say, a flintlock.
yer gonn'a haft'a come in and GET me ...
I'm out'a hose !
Hey Joeoooe
where ya goin’ ..
with that nail gun in your hand?
Im going to see my old lady
I heard she been messing around
But I just realized .... I think he's talkin' 'bout a HILTE gun
I tried to use my .44 mag to drive a nail and I found out that I need nails with quarter sized heads.
Ramset guns

Used for driving nails into concrete
Let the good legislator de-regulate other kinds of guns, too, if he wishes to honor his oath of office and uphold the American constitution (and honor American history)
I’ve got a Swingline Stapler that could stop a small elephant...
THOSE construction days were FUN !
How are they going to do background checks on illegal aliens. They have almost all but taken over the construction industry in California
I think you should have a background check to get the Navy Seal pen:

It is amazing how wimpy we have become that we want to restrict nail gun sales. You can’t even take nail clippers anywhere any more. My feeling is if someone can kick your butt with a pair of nail clippers, you deserve to have your butt kicked.
Unbelievable.
I’m entirely willing to surrender my stapler to the nanny state - and so should everyone else.
I remember the purple shots were for driving into steel. The foreman had to personally approve their use and they were hot. I often wondered if the Hilti gun could be rigged into use as a firearm. It would certainly not have been accurate or have any penetration outside a very close range.
You need more time at the range.
“How are they going to do background checks on illegal aliens. “
The low bidder on redoing the floor at my defense employer brought in a crew of Mexicans. Apparently nobody told him he needed to bring American citizens and there would be a background check. So they checked the Mexican’s ID’s. They claimed to be American citizens but they all had the identically same ID. It would have been hilarious if it hadn’t pointed out just how screwed we are.
They’re talking about the nail guns that .22 loads.
the nail guns in question are technically powder actuated tools. they have a cartridge similar to a .22 or .25 caliber pistol
they drive a wide variety of nails or studs into concrete or steel but mostly concrete
