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 believe an assembled crossbow in CT is about as good as carrying an
illegal hand gun... In Mass when I was a kid, nun-chucks were covered
in law as if it was a sidearm... Same penalty as carrying an
unregistered pistol.

Cool story, bro!
