Can a cannon be shot with just the power — like blanks?
Do the laws on cannons parallel the laws on rifles?
Yeah, but I have my heart set on an M777.
In order to cut down on violent crime in Dem cities, Dems will have to arrest and imprison criminals.
In urban areas, this means arresting and sending black males to prison.
Not gonna happen.
Instead they talk about gun control, talk about ‘assault weapons’ talk about ‘ghost guns’, and try to blame law abiding gun owners for crimes committed by urban blacks.
Criminal control is needed, instead we get the same old, tired ‘gun control’ rhetoric.
Personally, I think it would be more fun to have a mortar. I bet the rounds are costly, though. Also, I’d want a big one!

If no amendment is absolute, we can have slaves again?
FJB!
cannon depot?
Buy it
Let’s go Brandon.
Molon Labe MF’r!!!!
I have a 1 1/8” Coehorn mortar that I shoot off on the 4th as with a salute charge.
Took it out to a lake once and put a rough cast lead shot in it. Was impressed at the 250 yrd range with only a moderate charge of FF in it.
The Second Amendment is not about telling gun owners what theyir rights are and what they can own.
It’s about telling the government is cannot interfere with our right to keep and bear arms.
The Constitution is about reigning in the government, not the citizens.
A potato gun is an excellent mortar.
Wrong. In the debates, the Founder specifically mentioned a civilian right to cannons. Even grenades were mentioned. “How else would the merchentmen be armed for service under letter of marque and reprisal...” kind of stuff.
Read through Elliot’s Debates of the First and Second Congress.
We have a right to own and keep weapons. All kinds of them. Anything the .gov has, we were supposed to have.
Then again, civilian militia were to take a MUCH larger role in National defense than we currently do as well.
The right to keep and bear arms is inalienable.
The left has been pushing and pushing against Americans trying to get us to either give up our rights peacefully or go to war. They do not understand why the people haven’t revolted yet. They want a civil war so they can take away the remainder of our rights all in the name of “national security”.
They know that many conservatives take the position that the 2nd Amendment is a “hill to die on” so they have decided “so be it, that’s what we are going to do in order to get the war we need”. If conservatives push back they will use that as evidence that they need to take away guns from the law abiding, freedom loving, Americans. All in the name of security.
In like manner you could say then that no statute or government authority is absolute.
Exactly right.
And those in government have been trying to invent ways to get around that ever since 1791.
Now that dems are down 1 senator repubs should start issuing subpoenas for stuff-like pelosi’s phone and text records for Jan 5 and 6. Start collecting all the data you can. Take advantage of the timing. No need to wait til Nov.
