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.

You can buy a crossbow too, what's your point?
The federal law says that muzzle loader is not a "firearm".

You folks are certainly moving the goal posts a lot. First it was
assault weapons with high capacity magazines, now it is a flintlock
musket.
I can put a ball bearing in a capped pipe with a firecracker (or a few
hundred match heads) in it and do some damage too.
You really have to decide where you draw the line.

I think all firearms transactions should go through an FFL, with the
purchaser "background checked."

Simple enough.
