Saying that a 50 cal Muzzleloader is somehow equal to an actual 50 cal, centerfire, illustrates the ignorance of the anti's
They didn't say that.

lol stacked hypotheticals are great meaningless but great.
If he is a felon then he shouldn't have a gun. this is already the law. then again i don't know too many felons that go buy muzzle loaders.
so you have any evidence to support that felons are buying tons of muzzle loaders?
they are quite inefficient weapons.
i might be able to take this more seriously if it wasn't so stupid.
No but they think you can put a silencer of a black powder file, LMAO! I used to shoot black powder. They are indeed idiot's when it comes to firearms.
They didn't say that.
I would not disagree with you.
So far only one person has actually answered my question though and that was if they got out of jail and served their time they ought to have all their rights restored and if they're still a danger to society they ought not be let out. Latter part I agree with but isn't realistic with our current criminal justice system.

I haven't done a lot of black powder but that sounded wrong to me. I've shot 'em and the idea of putting a silencer on one sounds very dubious.
And the .50 muzzle loader sure ain't no 50bmg...
So amongst your waffling am I to assume you're okay with a violent individual convicted of domestic abuse, etc. buying and owning a muzzleloader without a background check? Why will no one answer the question straightforward, it's pretty simple.
it is pointless to put a silencer on a muzzleloader.
you never hunted with one have you?
this is another meaningless bs attempt by a bunch of loons.
MMmmm... not really. I've been throwing knives and tomahawks for ... lessee... 37 years, off and on. I don't claim to be expert but I can stick one pretty consistently at reasonable distances.
Given the option I'll take a handgun every time. Random distance, moving target, and limited "ammo" under anything like normal circumstances makes knife throwing dubious as a combat method.
For who?
I've killed a lot of deer with muzzleloaders ( my favorite method of hunting) and never needed more than one shot.
Not even close. But to gun grabbing Giffords, it's a 50 cal, so it must be a sniper weapon. Which is laughable at best. I guess they are afraid of people starting to hunt buffalo on the plains again!
If said person with the knife is determined he /she can cover that distance in 1.5 seconds.most people-including almost all cops, cannot draw and fire a handgun in time to stop someone running at them with a knife from a distance of about 22 feet or so.
Our current criminal justice system is a joke. Yes I agree they should have all rights restored.If however they are violent and depending on the level of violence that is another story.I would not disagree with you.

I swear, anti-gunners are their own worst enemy...lol
Gabby Giffords's Gun Control Group Releases Report Warning of Muzzleloaders, Other Firearms
What gets me is The Gifford's Bunch would have people to believe that all .50 muzzle loaders have built in suppressors, excuse me "silencers".it is pointless to put a silencer on a muzzleloader.
you never hunted with one have you?
this is another meaningless bs attempt by a bunch of loons.
when was the last time someone was robbed or murdered with a Kentucky rifle or a cap and ball colt?
Anybody gullible enough would think they are the ultimate AA gun.Saying that a 50 cal Muzzleloader is somehow equal to an actual 50 cal, centerfire, illustrates the ignorance of the anti's
But it's what they WANT you to believe.They didn't say that.

I can not believe people would even want to restrict blackpowder muzzleloaders and cap and ball revolvers. They are vastly more complicated to operate than modern firearms, required constant cleaning, due to the corrosive nature of blackpowder, they needed animal fats or equivilent as lube to soften fouling, otherwise the gun would be unfireable after a few shots.
This is on top of understanding primers for percussion, moisture control for all of them, understanding a frizzen and lock of aflinlocke as well as aligning and adjusting the flint on a regular basis, as well as needing two seperate powders, usually 3-4f for the pan and 2f for the barrel. Face it this is why there were so many good shooters back then who became legends, it is because the slow loading nature combined with the difficulty of use meant a high level of knowledge on that weapon was required to use it, a far cry from modern rifles.
Oh and on .50 cal having it's own silencer, the op's article proves the article writer as well as giffords group is completely ignorant on firearms. Many .50 cal muzzleloaders were subsonic in most loads, which was not silent. Add to this an actual silencer if modified to fit would foul out very quick where is would no longer suppress sound, there is a reason suppressors never became widely used until smokeless powder became the norm.
My guns, might fire 30 rounds a year, on private land with the owners blessing. I wonder how many people intent on using a cap n ball for crime, can figure out what the other 2 objects are, much less what do with them. They, always sit unloaded, unless it is the rare occasion, I fire them. Watch out beer cans and dirt hills!View attachment 67225065
remington new army confederate buffalo, and a colt confederate, not too sure on the model, maybe guessing navy and an earier model since it has an octagonal barel, which they ditched later on for the round barrel. The other two are for casting bullets and lead balls.
