Jim12, "antique gun owners as modern merchants of death with a sense of history," indeed. Love this. Hope you don't mind if I steal it.

You do not talk to reporters from the Washington Post!
OK, spoke to the reporter.
He was calling about my oral testimony regarding BP antique/reproduction pistols by CAS shooters and re-enactors. He was unfamiliar with Cowboy Action Shooting of NSSA-type Civil War shooing.
He asked about numbers of each type. Could they use non-firing guns for re-enacting? No.
He indicated his belief that the bill was poorly written and presented. He felt that long guns were a distraction in the bill.
Could I support a measure to restrict criminals like Bricker from getting BP pistols? Well, the FBI won't run a NICS check, so there's no way to enforce this.
And the numbers are too small. Gangs are not turning to BP pistols. Making a law for one instance is just bad precedent.
He's looking at material as Bricker may get sentenced this week.

As has been noted on this board in the past, one line of argument that the antis love to invoke is that the 2nd Amendment only pertained to muskets and black powder weapons. Yet now they want to have the government regulate their sales.
If someone committed a murder with a black powder weapon (and I'm guessing at close distance), how would one prevent them from using a knife, hammer, spear ... or using an improvised explosive device set off from a distance ... or using a car starting from a distance? (rhetorical of course) If there is a motive, there are countless ways a deranged individual might achieve his/her objective.
This legislation will not prevent homicides. It will just remove one of a huge number of choices for a deranged person to use ... maybe they'll pick up a baseball bat or power tool. By contrast, this legislation will create an unnecessary burden on a large citizens who are peaceably using a tool in whatever legal manner they choose ... and a burden on a constitutionally protected right.

Someone needs to point out the simplicity of making "Hand Gonnes and Matchlocks" meaning they can never be eliminated through legislation.

One person was killed in her district by an antique gun. This was the first person in probably 100 years, so she wants to outlaw them. How many were killed by drunk drivers or illegal drugs? Haven't they killed more people in her district? Maybe she should be outlawing drunk drivers and illegal drugs. Hey wait a minute, they already are. How is that working out???
I wonder how many have been killed by politicians? Now that would be a ban I could get behind.
