They're not even considered a firearm and have no regulation.

The dif is muzzle loading vs shells

I guess that's the same with all guns here... lol

Yes and no, I was discussing more than just a muzzle-loading cannon, I was also in a sentence referring to modern-day cannons, but including muzzleloading Cannon nobody sits there and talks about how much fun they had with a blank firing gun everybody wants to shoot real bullets out of the gun including Cannons, which means that you will need Cannon shells which are regulated as destructive devices, so while the cannon itself might not be regulated that's only or a limited subsection of cannons if you get something more modern then it becomes regulated and the entire realm of Regulation and registrations along with licensing requirements becomes very complicated very quickly, because modern stuff might not be regulated under the NFA but it would be regulated under ITAR or any number of other Byzantine regulations that carry acronyms even more obscure

Or we can just go with my simplified technically wrong gross oversimplification for the sake of brevity

One of my favorite comments about this whole situation oh, I know of a class 3 full auto M16, with an m203 grenade launcher underslung on it, when describing the weapon set I was assured there is a very thick binder worth of paperwork and a myriad of regulations tied to this weapon set that the owner laughs about creating the most complicated weapons that he could.
Because ahead if you already have a class 3 mulatto SBR you might as well go ahead and attach a destructive device to it if for nothing less than shitz and giggles

But you can own an m"15" with a "flare launcher"

I entered to win one just a few months ago from the nra (or maybe some other big gun group, I can remember)

And does anyone really think "Modern artillery" when someone says "Cannon"?

I mean... i guess modern artillery is a cannon? But thats like saying the modern gun is the exact same as a musket....

Its called something different for a reason

If you watch the T-Rex arms video that I posted up you would see that the keep and bear arms refers to weapons of war it did not specify restrictions on any of them, so technically you could probably make a case that the second amendment protects our rights to have tanks, at which point I would love to have a medicinal M1A2 Abrams

@Downskated

I want a tank...

In Brittan you can own a tank.

And legally drive it down the road

Don't think you would have a problem with speeding but I also don't think there will be anyone dumb enough to try and cut you off.

Probably not

Alyssa Milano is such a hypocrite

Good meme though

Guys gun sales have returned to my local gun shop the world is "healing"
Unfortunately the sale is on a Ruger 10/22... I am sure someone is excited...

i mean its a solid sporting .22

better than my mossberg plinkster for sure

Nothing wrong with a 22, sometimes it's just nice to target practice with something you can shoot for a long time for next to nothing. I started shooting a 22 at 6.

yeah but the more avid shooters tend to go with either a 22 or a pistol calibre ar lookalike

If a 22 gets the laymen into the 2nd amendment I'm all for it. It's still a better defense then not having a gun and being cheap to shoot means they are more likely to practice. That said, I prefer a larger pistol caliber but there are still times I like to use a 22 just so I can shoot a lot and not think about how much money I spending.

22lr is a great beginners practice rifle, after that its not really good for any purpose. Hard to get any thats reasonably accurate beyond 50 yrds, and then its not much cheaper than alternatives, next to no recoil so you dont really have to learn proper breathing, trigger control, and recoil control, and as a whole, its really not that effective a round.

thats why a lot of people will move on to a .17 HMR, 22 winmag, or even .223 at an enthusiast level

i still use my .22, but its largely because im in canada and they let me use 10 rnd'ers in it

People shoot .22LR out to 300yds in NRL22. It isn’t as cheap then, the premium ammo is much more.

right, which kind of defeats the purpose

might as well just go with a better rifle and a better round

there was another more obscure small calibre that is allegedly really good for accuracy as well, cant remember which one it was..

Sure outside getting an initial weapon skills it's not something that transfers but if I just want to shoot bottles or random things it's cheap.

Exactly. I need to set up a long range .223 or 6mm Creedmoor soon here. I’ve always liked PRS/NRL stuff.

@Stargatemaster96 or GOPHERS

im looking at creedmoor or 6.5mm

not legally allowed to hunt with .223 for anything larger than a coyote in Alberta

and i usually go for chickens and whitetail deer

keep the .22lr for the chickens, get a 6.5mm or perhaps NATO 7.62mm or other similar calibre for deer
