      Nagin wants his gun rights restored.

      There is no "except for" in the 2d Amendment. You can bet that General Jackson was glad to have the pirate Jean Lafitte and his Baratarians on his side at the Battle of New Orleans.

      Joe Biden sparks fury by announcing Easter Sunday will be 'Transgender Day of Visibility'

      Fury? Nah. More like amused. I have to wonder who or what is advising FJB about the coming election. I guess there are "progressive" voters who think FJB's public announcements are right on, but if they are 10% of the USA electorate I would be surprised. When you find yourself in a hole it's...

      TC Contender and Encore Rifles

      A 45/70 will kill anything at any range that you can hit it. Because of the high trajectory, hitting something, hitting it is the problem. https://researchpress.uk/firearms/longrange/sandy-hook-1879/

      Using smokeless powder in muzzle loaders marked "Black Powder Only"

      More like 60 years ago, and it seems to perform the same. And Universal seems to be about the same as Unique. Here is a discussion of old vs new Unique, circa 2015: https://www.glocktalk.com/threads/old-unique-powder-vs-new-unique-any-difference.1563585/

      Using smokeless powder in muzzle loaders marked "Black Powder Only"

      That's a new one to me. I know that one should never use modern shot shells in a Damascus barrel.

      Using smokeless powder in muzzle loaders marked "Black Powder Only"

      60-odd years ago, Ihelped a friend load 45-70-500 cartridges for original trap-door Springfields. As I remember, we used 13 grains of Unique as our load approximating the original black powder load. He never had a problem with excess pressures. The Lyman Handbook of Cast Bullets gives aload of...

      USSS shoots at car burglars.

      Another reason to be glad I live in Louisiana. We have "shoot the burglar" and "shoot the carjacker" laws. One does not need any sort of license to carry a loaded firearm in one's vehicle; it is considered to be the same as one's home. In 2012, there was a change to the Louisiana constitution...
