Flintlocks are the only weapons that are reliable.
Flintlocks and other firearms
aren't weapons, they're firearms only.
A firearm becomes a weapon when it is used as a weapon in defensive, or offensive action. Otherwise it is only a firearm. If Greatgrandma's hat pin was used to keep away unwelcome attentions, it was a weapon, otherwise it was still a hat pin...
When California instituted the first movements toward banning the so-called Assault Weapons, anti-gun legislators read articles, out of gun magazines, into the legislative records to help prove their point... That is how the word Asssault Weapon was attached to the AR-15 and other civilian copies of military rifles... Careless (dumb) gun writers started using the term Assault Weapon and it has stuck to
ALL GUN OWNERS DETRIMENT.
On firearms oriented forums, we shoot ourself in the foot everytime we say the word weapon. Anti-gun people read these forums, and
PEE DOWN THEIR LEG when they see the word weapon.
Lets make an effort to stop shooting ourselves in the foot.
