IF the shooters burst in the Christmas party with single shot pistols or muskets, they certainly could have been overpowered after getting off their one shot before reloading.
This IS sensible gun control!  |
You need some serious help. I do not believe that you actually subscribe to your stupid rhetoric. Show me in the constitution where it stipulated any/ANY limitation on weapons at all. Go ahead, find it for me. You probably have never even scanned over it, let alone read it. In those days, muskets may have been a starter for defending your town, but not the country. Hunting rifles are a starter but not even close to adequate to defend a town, let alone a country.
"Sensible gun control" is controlled breathing, sight alignment, and squeeze, don't jerk the trigger. I won't diss' you for being scared of guns, but my daughter shoots in competition and my grandson (11) just got his first 10 point buck this year. So, you really shouldn't be scared of them. With the proper training, you can handle one safely and confidently too.
