It would be great if all Americans used muskets. The world would be a safer place for all of us to live.

All right; the day the gang-bangers of the world (and for that matter, the ATF,) lay down their TEK-9's and MP5's, I'll go buy a Brown Bess.

Until then, I'll stick with the fixed ammunition, thank you...

I bumped into a similar argument a few day ago. It appears that some more critters are crawling out from under the rocks as spring approaches.

One of the ideas behind the concept of a militia was that they could be armed with (and own) the best current military weapons that contemporary technology could provide (at that time muskets and swords). So, I consider that a private individual should be able to own anything that he could buy (and responsibly) use and maintain.

Who knows maybe just maybe she might learn something but I do doubt it.

I think your polite response was wasted, but it shows class all the same.

BTW... What would you recommend as a good "boat gun" for someone sailing in foreign waters? Fellow in my office wants a suggestion and I told him I knew just the guy to ask.

CW needs to be addressed in a fair manner to hopefully engage him/her in a open minded level of calm considerate and meaningful lesson on the 2nd amendment and the need for all American citizens to have the ability to defend themselves after being properly educated in the safe handling and use of small arms be they a single shot scatter gun or a select fire rifle of military caliber.

If that is not possible send the whining little SOB a comealong to help em pull their head outta their butt !

Stay safe !
