An interesting little fact. On the Lewis and Clark Expedition they had a semi-automatic air rifle in about .30 caliber. It intimidated the Native Americans due to the lack of a "bang", fast firing and heavy impact. So the argument about semi-automatics doesn't hold a lot of water either.
Can I own field artillery like cannons and explosives, then? They had them in Revolutionary times.
Also don't forget about the Puckle gun. Maybe not fast firing by today's standards, but it shows that they knew advancements in technology were inevitable.

For some reason I remembered it as .30 cal. I've always been fascinated with air/pellet guns and have owned one since my teens. They tend to be regarded as "recent" developments when that is definitely not the case. They also are viewed as potentially dangerous toys but can be fairly lethal in the right caliber and configuration.
It is amazing that they were able to make a semi-auto air rifle that was pretty effective way back in the late 1700's. And, as I said, makes the semi-auto wasn't available when the Constitution was written argument yet another lie of the Marxocrats.
That was very interesting. He really covered just about everything one would want to know.
But two questions that I have are
1) how many shots would the 1500 pumps of the air bladder give you
2) what would the muzzle velocity be, roughly?
Well you knew it would just be a matter of time, apparently active shooter in Boulder Colo. Still active as of 18:30 EST, don’t know how many fatalities yet but sounds bad.
I suspect the Nazi Democrats will be pushing a “assault rifle ban” tomorrow.
You know it's funny. Have not had this happen for a while. But just as the Dems are pushing the latest gun bills, all of a sudden there are a couple of shootings that the MSM jump to call 'mass shootings'.
I thought that was a very powerful video when I saw that during the election. But it did not make a difference. I can't understand how anyone that owns a gun, that partakes in any shooting sport, that has one for self defense, could ever vote for Biden or any democrat. But I sure have met many that did.
They are talking about an additional 1% tax on ammo. Just like the "violence tax" that was imposed on Crook County several years ago (additional $25 per gun, 5 cents per loaded round).

I'm certain it made a difference... the challenge really is countering the leftist education system, and the msm, and censorship of big tech.. can't easily overcome that...
I do not think it made a difference. I think anyone that watched that was already against gun control and the dems. I think that very few that were voting for dems watched that video. Probably never even knew it existed. Unfortunately, the way news/media/social media is these days, most people never see an opposing view, especially a conservative one.
I don't think it damn matters. I think that Joe and the Hoe just want to take our guns....doesn't matter why, doesn't matter if they can, they JUST WANT TO. Its a liberal, communist, socialist trait....runs deep in them. Can't have the middle class capable of standing up to them...NOPE, that will NEVER DO! Fuck them all...and even though I don't OWN any guns, I am still pissed about it. Freak'n geriatric POS.
