    Fun fact: the black powder handguns in the picture don't even legally count as firearms in America. You don't need a background check to get one, and they can be shipped straight to your door in most states.

    Of course not many people are out there committing violent crimes with percussion cap revolvers.

        Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.

        I was going to make a pirate joke but I see all of Twitter has beaten me to it.

      Fun fact...

      Really? But if they aren't called firearms - what are they called?

      Old timey pew-pew fun sticks?

        "Antique firearm", which has a completely different set of regulations.

        There are local laws restricting them in some ways. Like I know in my state, if you can't own a firearm you can't legally own an antique firearm either. But I could order any one of those handguns online just as easily as anything else.

          In my state, if you can’t own a firearm you can’t legally own an antique firearm.

          How often is that law actually enforced? Just about never?

    Not very good parenting since that baby's being exposed to lead from such a crucially young age.

    If you don't know the majority bullets are made with lead, and rounds can have traces of lead dust adhering to them.

    if Ezra hadn't been a huge alcoholic asshole in Hawaii, then I'd say this feels like a smear campaign against them.

    but like... they were so :shrug-outta-hecks:

    the allegations of "grooming" have me going :fry:,
    but they were also a successful hollywood actor so... :yikes-1::yikes-3:

    Edit: apparently multiple allegations of this? I haven’t looked into it, I’m just obviously aware that phrase is being misused by bigots towards trans people right now

      I mean, they have been prepping 12-13 year olds to be sexual partners when those kids turn 18 on multiple instances this time.

      So yes, literally grooming. No need to cape for pedophiles lmao

        Not caping for anyone. I haven’t looked into it, I’m just obviously aware that phrase is being misused by bigots towards trans people right now. Not going to bother digging into those allegations either way.
