Here's a thought. While I normally would agree with you I'm thinking that removing all the traitors would collapse the entire Gov., because that is how deep the traitors have been infiltrated into our Gov. and every Gov. in the World. You would have to have the Military in charge before removing the traitors would work.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.
