Why would anyone who had corresponded with me before be willing to take me serious?
One would have to wonder what the velocity of a bullet fired from a cap and ball pistol at 400 yards would be. Since it is a ball, the velocity would not carry very far. Apparently there was a bit of confused fighting at the time and most people who were firing their weapons were using black powder that generated a lot of smoke. The only ones who were not generating this smoke would be the ones who were not firing their weapons. However, if Clinton could sell weapons to the Indians that killed Custer, there is no reason that he couldn't sell weapons to the Yankees that killed Stuart. This would make Hillary happy and keep her off his back for a while.
Meanwhile if Kerry had been there, we could have watched the re-enactment film, unless Kerry was lying wounded after he had shot himself while trying to load a cap and ball pistol. If this is true, we owe him at least one more Purple Heart.
We know Ted was not there because there were no handy bridges to run a wagon off of.
