Therefore by the convoluted 'logic' of the 4th Circuit lever-actions are weapons of war. As are muskets. As is everything. Nothing is safe - look at Britain. You can't even buy silverware there unless you're 18 yrs old. The Left hates us. They hate freedom. We cannot rest or be complacent.<br /><br /><br />1 With A Bullethttp://www.1withabullet.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-80800658948707503432017-02-23T18:52:57.466-05:002017-02-23T18:52:57.466-05:00Henrys were never issued; they were purchased by i...Henrys were never issued; they were purchased by individuals and individual regiments. The Army did issue Spencer lever-actions, both rifles and carbines, from about 1863; they were replaced by single-shot Springfields as they became available (some were replaced by Allin conversions before 1873). But we all know the writer was referring to the Winchesters that were the standard issue of the 1st Hollywood Cavalry.

There's nothing in the 2A that even remotely resembles that, and yet this ruling seems to say only guns with a sporting use are allowable. Nothing ever used militarily is allowable. <br /><br />That has to go down. <br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-91858451109922520402017-02-23T12:26:41.224-05:002017-02-23T12:26:41.224-05:00What about the Henrys issued during the War for So...What about the Henrys issued during the War for Southern Independence?Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12928963056168874465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-66113722682737914602017-02-23T11:49:04.317-05:002017-02-23T11:49:04.317-05:00That's the truth, in just a few words...

They carried single-shot trapdoor Springfields. So your levers are safe, unless the court took the same history classes Mr. Shepherd apparently did.
