So if you feel like your Constitutional rights have been infringed upon, by politics, then it is ok to own guns in difference to current laws?

The Penal Law definition of antique firearm is generally applied to muzzle loading black powder firearms, but also applies to pistols or revolvers "that use fixed cartridges which are no longer available in the ordinary channels of commercial trade".

Muzzle loading pistols or revolvers do not have to be registered on a pistol permit if the owner never intends to fire them.

Why bother? Instead of all the contortions and jumping through hoops, it's best for anyone repelled by leftists in general and gun-grabbers in particular to not live in states like NY, CA, MA, MD etc.

I say this as a born-in-Brooklyn native NYer who was born and raised there.

Over this past summer, I was under a lot of internal and external pressure to move back to New York. One of the major reasons why I didn't was because in order to do so, I would have had to sell or give away my guns. Another major reason why I didn't is because I didn't wish to have my life governed by northeastern leftists.

People can say what they like about Florida, but if you're a gun owner, it's a good state to live in. If it stopped being so, I would pack up and leave in a "NY" minute.

Gun owners who live in hostile states should simply abandon them instead of playing these stupid games.

You’ll wound or kill and intruder or, if you miss, make him soil himself from the bang. I love my black powder guns.

The politicians in New York City have forgotten who works for who. As long as there was a goobermint employee with a gun, I would sure keep mine. An unconstitutional law is not worthy of being obeyed, actually it may be traiterous and is at least cowardly to do so.

Amen. So if you can apply that principle to buying or owning an “illegal’ gun, then why not make the same conscientious decision and not pay taxes? Isn't it the same thing? Income tax is a political issue, and certainly is Unconstitutional by a strict reading of the Constitution

You can debate the income tax’s constitutionality, you can’t debate the 2nd Amd, unless you are a zombie clone or govt jackboot licker.

While at Christian Brothers college in 1965-1966 quite a few people of color decided to violate some rather restrictive laws because they were wrong,I supported them as I support any who violate immoral and Unconstitutional laws.Tyranny wraps itself up in immoral laws....Immoral to whom you may ask....Those who believe in the Constitution,the actual Law of the land.

A black powder revolver will work, although most of them are not very accurate or power at greater distances. But be sure to get a very good one—one that will withstand higher pressures (re. max grains of black powder), and don’t load the chamber that will be under the hammer. Be wary of ricochets and bounce-backs (e.g., from hard target surfaces). And they are very messy and a little more time-consuming to clean (hot water, then oil, in my experience). And never try to do the quick draw thing with live ammo in the cylinder.

So, you have out of state driver licenses and fake residency proof?

Or do you frequently admit to committing felonies on public forums?

My BS flag is way up.

I couldn’t agree more. I happen to apply that thinking to every single law. The government hates me. All levels it seems. Anytime they want anything from me, I frustrate and confuse their purpose with as much vigor and diatribe as possible. I think I am duty bound to explain to them just how messed up they are every single time.

I am a Free man.

Part of law is the enforcement process.

The 2nd Amendment states a right to keep and bear.
The 14th Amendment forbids a state from infringing on citizen’s rights.

So when a state legislature violates the constitution, should be be good sheep? Or should we violate the illegal local law and take our chance to be the test case that will validate the right in the Constitution?

Invalid laws have no standing.
