In a nutshell, it's cost / time / practically prohibitive for me to even be allowed to exercise my constitutional right to have a firearm at all. any firearm

Maybe you should look into getting a musket

You might be able to possess the musket in 2/3 of the material required to fire it...

@Maw Let me know how if you know how he was destroyed by a bad medical corps.

@Doc any thoughts on a swivel Cannon in New York City?

Or perhaps a musket...

I have no idea what that is? I know what a swivel cannon is, but not of any in NYC

Perhaps the swivel Cannon could be a way to prepare for civil war without having to face the background check for a firearm.

If you want to fight a civil war, you need a significant actor to fund you first.

True

I don't know why the guy wants to firearm in New York City...

who?

I was just throwing it out there because it seems hyperbolic..

I have no idea what this is about. Do remember I do not watch TV and does not read papers.

what is the video?

Just this guy who wants a firearm...

People shooting cannons...

join a club?

And the musket

It probably be pretty fun to shoot...

Just for fun...

my gun club has a western subsection and a black powder sub section.

they fire muskets and such

Cool.. and some states in the United States I don't think any background check is required for ball and shot weapons..

well, if you are barred from owning a gun, it is usually for good reason, yes?

I think in New York you can possess the weapon if it's antique and then you can have 2/3 of the components required to fire it... So they've effectively closed that loophole.

I guess you could keep ball bearings around as the missing third...

so you cant own a hunting rifle in NYC?

Apparently not without a license. And a 40 page paper submitted and approved..

I gather it's very political...

then fill out the 40 pages

I'm not in New York this other guy is...

What one of these videos above says is don't waste your time...

They have these jackasses like the guy in Nashville screwing it up for everybody else...

indeed

Pretty soon you won't be able to buy hydrogen peroxide or nail polish remover without some kind of permit..

which is why the best way to go in terms of gun control is via individual regulation, not collectively.
