Yeah, but man, have you seen the bayonets on those things!?
And on the Enfields, Springfields, Mausers, etc.

Former congresswoman Gabby Giffords's gun control group released a report on Wednesday warning of the dangers of muzzle loading rifles, a number of other firearms, and some firearms accessories and calling for new gun control measures targeting the devices.

I know that disease did much of the killing. But guns did the job too—even guns in Indians’ hands! My point is that black powder muzzle loaders are very capable killing machines and have been involved in lots (if not millions) of murders and crimes—just not in the last 100 or so years. And since they haven’t been used very much for such activity for a century, calls for their regulation are pretty absurd.
I hate to tell the ditzy woman that “larger than .50 caliber” rifles were used in The Civil War, and The War of 1812, The American Revolution, and The French and Indian War, and also King Phillip’s War.
They were THE NORM!! Ditzy woman (she ain’t no Congress-nothing no mo’) at the pushing of her bald traitorous husband, wants your grandad’s antique rifle ‘cause it goes BANG!
Hmm...I have a .50 cal flintlock Hawken rifle. Will an attached suppressor also vacuum the powder smoke when the rifle is fired? That’s quite a signature, you know.
So much for the libs’ argument that the Second Amendment permits firearms that existed as of 1791. Now they want anything that goes bang. Are crossbows next? They’re deadly & make no noise at all. William Tell, call your office.
Now... I own a reproduction double barrel flintlock pistol in .62 cal. I load it with 20 gauge plastic wads & BB shot.
With its 12” barrels this number is a perfectly legal sawed off shotgun. Never had a misfire, BOOM-BOOM!!

In what way is it hers? Is she the Executive director. Does she work there on a daily basis?
BTTT
Best compilation on the thread, thanks Laz...

On June 19, Gage renewed his demand that the Bostonians surrender their arms (muzzle loaders), and he declared that anyone found in possession of arms (muzzle loaders) would be deemed guilty of treason.
I know who is guilty of treason -- gun grabbers.
I’m pretty sure that dangerous weapon claimed more than just one thugs’ fingers.
And that unruly kid got away with it too!
BAN ‘EM ALL! /s
I believe the milita requirement for 1776 was 15 rounds in 3 3/4 minutes.
I remember when the BATF raided an antique gun store in Tulsa, Oklahoma back around 1970. The crime...importing military munitions of WAR!
MUSKET FLINTS.
My Boomerang won’t come back
My Boomerang won’t come back!
I wagged the thang all over the place,
Practiced till I was black in the face,
I’m a big disgrace to the Aborigine race,
My Boomerang won’t come back!
As for your reference,
Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior
Fifty years ago surplus shops and hardware stores had 55 gallon barrels of Civil War bayonets for a couple of dollars each. Blade bayonets were more. cash and carry.
The only regulation of Citizen owned firearms the left will ever be happy with is one that takes all firearms out of the Citizen's hands. Because an armed populace is too dangerous............to the socialists who want to take over and destroy our Republic.
Doesn't say something that Gabby and her husband enjoy owning guns and playing with automatic weapons have such a great desire to disarm others? I say take it the streets of St. Louis and Chicago and preach your crap, see how it's welcomed there.
When I was on the ROAD, I heard that some WARRIOR named The Toadie lost his fingers when some feral kid threw a boomerang.
It’s her nutjob opportunist husband. See post 13.
This is about a muzzleloader with a built-in suppressor, although I’m pretty sure any other muzzleloader, be it a musket, rifle, single-shot pistol or revolver, also scare her.
From her report:
“Cue the .50 caliber muzzleloader, which delivers a particularly lethal .50 caliber round. This weapon is designed with a built-in device to suppress its sound. If any other firearm were built with such a device, it would be subject to the NFA as a silencer. But since this device is designed to suppress the sound of something that is exempt from federal firearms laws, it is not considered a silencer and not subject to the NFA. In fact, it is not subject to any laws at all and can be bought online.”
It’s fun reading about all the other scary things in the report, too.
Sorry. Forgot the link to her report:

A .62 caliber 12 inch Double!
That’s “Sounds” Fun.
Probably a Cap.
Is it an Antique or reproduction?
On some TV Show or Movie, I saw recently (May have been “Turn”), an officer tells his troops, “Think of it as a spear that shoots!”.
Yeah. I can see that. Brilliant description.
Reproduction, made in India at the historic Dehradun arms works. Flintlocks of excellent quality. Barrels proofed & dated. A manufacturer’s prototype that was not adopted by the importer Veteran Arms LLC. Got it for a song.
