What do you say to your lib associates about Assualt Weapons?

[Nazirite]

I have quit trying to discuss guns with my anti-gun coworkers, all we do is end up arguing. Every time I try to explain something they give me the “I don’t want to here about it remark.†Ignorance is the biggest issue with most of them, they simply have no idea what they are talking about. They base all their info on what the see on tv.

Oh, oh, I remembered that guy's name: Jeff Snyder Google it and get his stuff about "assault weapons". Warning: not light reading.

oops, that's right,,,

No bayonet lug, no bipod. Why, I don't have an assault weapon at all!

What was I thinking?

BTW were you looking at a flintlock one, or one that uses primers?

Not too familiar with muzzle loaders, in my mind I picture the ones that were used along the time of the Revolutionary War. Flint lock, I'm sure.
Perhaps I should hang around the muzzle loader forum. =D

mbs357, I'm pretty sure that the lug is fairly easy. After all, bayonets were orginally important because you couldn't keep the rate of fire up.

Yea, bayonet lugs were probably mandatory on muzzle loaders. Take a shoot, swing it and jab it around for a while til you get a chance to reload. =)

I like the idea about offering to take them to the range. As for the ones who are impervious to logic, I'll generally ignore them, or if they persist, repeat my .sig line below to them.
