It never fails, when gun control and "assault weapons" come up. the gun haters are quick with their Founding Father statements. They state that the founders would not have written the 2nd Amendment if they had only "known" the types of weapons that would be available today. Bullshit. They spout their nonsense about the so called assault weapons and how the Founders would be appalled. To hear the gun haters tell it, the Founders would have collective heart attacks if the saw a modern AR15. The Founders might not have envisioned exactly what we have today, but they were on the right track.
The "assault weapon of the late 18th Century. There are plenty of examples of multi-shot flintlock rifles and pistols produced on mostly hand run machines. Not bad for a bunch of people that "wouldn't understand" our modern weaponry.
So, the next time you are having a discusion with a Bradyite and the bring up the tired old meme about the Founders wouldn't approve, drag out the link to this video. There are similar videos like this that show the resourcefulness of the gunsmiths of a long gone era.

I'm a bastard. I'd rather just shoot them as their entirely too stupid to be allowed to breathe the same oxygen as me.I also love it when my best friend told me recently "I know you think guns are the 'cool thing' but they don't solve anything"
