Gun Control. Controlling People & making Money. Little to do with
public safety.
Nothing to do with public safety? Let me prove it to you.
Anyone can purchase a flintlock, Wheelock or matchlock pistol, no
licence is required & no permit to purchase or registration providing it
was made before 1901 ad. However, the government says that you are not allowed
to shoot or in their words “use” these pistols unless you join a pistol club
& purchase an “H” class license. So you see, this has nothing to do with
acquiring a gun, it is to do with being given lawful permission to “use” this
gun. How many criminals do you know of that obey gun laws???!!!
So the only people disadvantaged by this law are the law abiding gun
owners, NOT THE CRIMINALS!!! I have nothing against not requiring a license to
purchase one of these primitive antique muzzle-loading guns; no criminal would
ever use one of these guns, but why disadvantage law abiding citizens? Why
can’t we “use” these guns? If the government wants us to pay for the privilege,
then why not create a separate licence for these antique guns?
Another point which many people may not understand, ALL
muzzle-loading pistols, antiques & those copies still made today all work
in the same way, there is NO difference between a modern muzzle-loader & an
antique muzzle-loader. So why does the government make a separate license for
replicas when no license is required for an antique? Replica or antique, there
is no difference, no criminal would ever use one of these guns because: They
only have one shot, they are slow & difficult to load, they are unreliable,
they are expensive to purchase, they are difficult to carry in a pocket, they
create too much smoke when fired, & it is far easier to obtain a modern firearm
& cut it down to size!!!
