I wrote to Adam
Marshal seeking his help in changing these pointless & ridiculous gun laws
concerning muzzle-loading pistols. A flintlock muzzle-loading pistol &
a Wheelock pistol both require a piece of rock (stone) to enable them to fire.
These pistols are very primitive, single shot, slow to load, most have no
sights, smoothbore & not very accurate. Criminals do not use them because
most of them don't know how to use them, & they can be difficult to
use.
Adam Marshal
simply passed on my request & the Police Commissioner replied that he had
no intention of changing this law. Obviously this is NOT about public safety;
this is about a law made out of ignorance & no thought regarding the people
who love using these primitive tools as a hobby.
It is not good
enough that the government can make a mistake in making a law, & then
refuse to correct that mistake just because they can't be bothered! PLEASE SIGN
THIS PETITION.
