This guy hauls out the old "guns were less dangerous in 1790" arguement, which is pure BS.
In 1790, before surgery and long before antibiotics, ANY bullet wound usually led to death, often after several days of screaming agony. The "best" one could hope for was a wounded limb and an amputation, with a 50-50 survival rate. Any torso wound was fatal.
Today, soldiers and criminals are routinely shot multiple times and are patched up at the local MASH unit or trauma hospital. So much for "guns are too lethal today" arguement.
As far as the repeating firearm compared to muzzle loaders, nothing prevented anyone in 1790 from loading a goose gun or blunderbuss or 2 or 3 and sending a hail of lead and iron at the church social or schoolyard, wounding dozens, most of whom would, as stated above, die in screaming agony.
One more good plan to pile on the others .......Stay Safe !
Thanks for the ping. It would appear that the author of what passes as this "opinion piece" is engaging in an effort to overthrow the Bill of Rights, specifically the 2nd amendment.
Most patriots would consider this action to put him on the side of the "domestic enemeies of the Constitution" to be dealt with during the appropriate time.
