I'm thinking of getting into black powder and flintlocks; I imagine they'll NEVER be outlawed...

"I'm thinking of getting into black powder and flintlocks; I imagine they'll NEVER be outlawed..." Now I'm assuming you're being somewhat facetious. However if the gun-grabbers got their way and attached amendments to the AWB, to make it 'stronger' and eliminate the current 'loopholes', black powder firearms would be effected.
It goes to the 'cop killer caliber' aspect the leftists are currently carping about. As most modern Black Powder rifles are .50 caliber or greater - they would in theory (I assume) be banned.

They are mighty nasty weapons when it comes right down to it. But they will be demonized as "gateway" weapons, and the powder as a major fire and explosion hazzard.
