In this latest wave of anti-gun hysteria that has gripped the nation, how is it that the "black powder loophole" (as, I predict, Piers will eventually call it) has gone unnoticed? Even in the Evil Empire State, where I cannot go into Manhattan and buy a 22-ounce soda, I can still call Cabelas and have a six-shooter in my hand by the end of the week without a background check, registration, or a requisite safety class. Low 6-shot capacity? Why not carry 3, 4, or even 5 six-shooters on my person just like Jesse did? Low power? A .44 caliber 1858 Remington pointing in my direction would certainly get my attention. I don't get it.
I'm not complaining, mind you, just ruminating on the arbitrary nature of the proposed legislation; and wondering if it will generate a new interest in Black Powder shooting and collecting. I hope not, because it will eventually spell the end of this freedom as well.
