snapshot.jpg


now thats a real gun,only has six shots before the ten minute loading process at the time the picture was taken the gun was loaded with tripple seven powder 20 grains with some corn meal on top as filler.the barrels on the cylinder sealed with lard,thats right lard,to keep moisture out preven chain fires and lubricate the barrels.only thing missing ws the primer caps.

and yes i have only six shots but all i need is one:shoot

also note this is a pietta model and it is a very large revolver for its caliber.

i just cant figure out what but something seems wrong about that pistol in thunders picture.

It may be the Daisy logo or the warning on the side of the slide, or the CO2 cap on the bottom of the grip, or the solid plastic trigger. Not sure which, tho.

yeah i thought that was the daisy logo but i was having a hard time seeing the other air gun signs with the angle he was holding it at.

I was thinking the same thing about the hand.
 
its a pellet gun, kids. no need to get all excited.

still, it'll take an eye out...and likely penetrate the skin.

pellet guns arent a joke,the pellet rifle in my closet can kill squirrels and there have been air rifles made powerfull enough to kill a boar.

i remember a story long ago about a child being shot with a pellet rifle, and the pellet actually went through his soft tissue & skin, right out the other side.

point a pellet rifle or handgun at a police officer, and he will blow your ass way. justifiably.
 
compare our murder rate to Miami, Houston, Dallas, OKC, Charlotte, and lots of other cities with much looser gun laws.

Compare them to DC, Chicago, Detroit, and a lot of other cities with as/more strict laws and see what I keep saying; it isn't gun control, it is poverty/unemployment, corrupt/ineffective gov't, and gangs/drugs.

my discussion of NYC's murder rates, is simply a response to all the folks who suggest that strict gun laws make places less safe.

clearly, NYC proves that just becuase a place has strict gun laws, doesn't mean it will have a higher murder rate than a place with looser gun laws.

Strict gun control laws clearly don't HELP, or Chicago and DC wouldn't be such a mess.

They just impair honest citizens in defending themselves.
 
yeah, and if someone gets shot with it they are in trouble.

point it at a cop..and you're a dead man.

whats stupid is the atf classifies air guns as weapons and all other guns as firearms,with one major exception.that is blackpowder firearms like mine are not classified as a weapon a gun or firearm under any federal law,so long as the ammunition powder and caps all needed to be loaded seperately,so all cartridge fire blackpowder still counts as a weapon and firearm.

there are however some states that add restrictions to blackpowder muzzleloaders,but most states allow mail order of them and in some states still legal for felons to possess.
 
tell me again, how I'm scared of guns & all things having to do with guns.

looks like an old collection of bullets,you can tell by the darkness of some of them that they have been sitting outside a box for a long time,i almost swear the one to the left is 7.62x54r.


now go ahead thunder and name each caliber from left to right

And if that don't work, I can always hit them with my purse. LOL!

We figured out long ago that it isn't YOUR guns you're scared of, it is "The People" having guns.

Firstest, I said that Thunder cannot now say that crime is down in NYC due to gun control. I also listed violent crime. I did not specifically say murder.

Secondest, You cannot compare raw murder rates without also involving social and environmental data and hope to find realistic comparison.

We get it Thunder.

hey man, you know I dig you. You're one of my favorite posters here. I think you have your head and heart in the right direction.

But, bro to bro, gun discussions are not your forte. Pellet guns. Putting an eye out. I don't think you realize how that is coming across.

I'm just lookin' out for ya bro 'cause I like ya. You should be asking more questions and giving less advice on this one particular matter. The same goes for me. There is a wealth of knowlege on this thread for anyone who can get past their own pride and be willing to absorb. You ain't gotta like the ideologies.

We should all approach each other as we would a friend who is welcomed over for a beer and some quality time. We don't all have to agree. But neither do we have to be controversial to the degree of berating. That goes for all of us.

again, the fact is that NYC is proof that strict gun laws don't make a society less safe.
