mediaevalistNormally I don't go into politics for reasons that I 1) hate politics and 2) feel it detracts from discussing fun things such as sharp, pointy objects. However, I believe this has special merit as this effects re-enactment enthusiasts.
Blackpowder Targeted by New York
Say what?
Now, while it would seem that erstwhile clueless legislator (Yes, I am aware that's redundant) is backpedaling liek whoa, quite frankly, there's no need for this sort of law in the first place. Aside from the fact that such a law is in clear violation of the Second Amendment, the only people who would ever use such weapons are re-enactment groups and the occasional hunter, both of which take great pains in ensuring safety. Does anyone seriously believe some kid is going to simply grab one from Mum & Dad's armoury and load it properly in time for the next MS-13 meeting?
I've often said that proper education is the first step towards eliminating ignorance. A good place to start would be with the lawmakers.
