The pistol used to kill Lincoln was a flintlock, a single-shot

I thought it was a percussion (cap and ball) that killed the

This is why you can't believe most of what media writers write.

That is clearly a cap and ball pistol.


The real point was that it was a deadly firearm you can purchase without
dealing with an FFL.

Yeah, but what was the *real*, real point?

Seems like every time you expound on your knowledge of firearms, you step on your dork.
