How many crimes and murders have been committed using black powder muzzleloaders?


Millions. Indians were pretty much wiped out with black powder muzzleloaders. Not so many crimes & murders in the last 100 years.

The article mentions how gun manufacturers are readily exploiting this “loophole” in the NFA which explains why I have to drive over 100 miles to find a store that sells black powder.

In the mid 70’s I brought a black power pistol kit for a shop class project. Making hunting knives was also very popular in shop class too.

Direct result of SilencerCo’s Maxim 50. Drop shippable .50 caliber muzzle loader with a “sound moderator” permanently affixed to the business end. With the exception of three states (Kalifornia, Mass?, New yuk?), buy it, receive it, shoot it.

Believe this has a bunch of the knickers twisted folks even more twisted. That and the fact that muzzleloaders are considered ‘not firearms’ by the good weekend boys.

They outlawed the Barrett .50 in CA even though it has never been used in a Crime.

They cost 10 to 20 Grand and are apparently the go to Rifle for MS-13 Members, or like we call them in CA, Dreamers.

I’m curious as to just how long it takes to re-load and get a second shot off with a muzzle loader if you’re well practiced.

She is coming up with a follow up report on the dangers of boomerangs.

This gun control stuff isn’t about guns really. Its about an anti-male, ant-western, anti-American agenda promoted by radical socialists and globalists.

Too bad that shooter didn’t do a better job on this dimwit phony liar.

Standard for troops in the Civil war was 3 aimed shots per minute but the average for a sustained rate in combat was 1-2 per minute.

A fellow I worked with collected Rotating barrel muzzle loaders.
Some I saw were 3,4, 5 barrels.
