Who is getting one?

I'd love to play with one at the range for an afternoon, but I wouldn't drop $1300 to own one. There's only a couple of uses for which it's practical. I don't see myself and a group of guys clearing a street or building, and I'm already equipped to defend my home against the "revolution".

Besides, as the article points out, if the wrong person saw you with that thing you'd have some 'splaining to do.

The strange thing is you would need an AOW stamp for that unless you
could get a curio and relic exemption. That Black Ace is legal without
one ... so far. I really expect to see a new ruling on all of these
"arm braces" (to be distinguished from a shoulder stock). Sig has one
too.
I can't imagine paying that much for something that useless. If you
want a lot of bang for the buck, get a Saiga and you could actually do
something with it besides repelling zombie attacks.

I am surprised I haven't heard of speed skeet. Get a guy (or gal) with
a Saiga and a few spare mags, line up on a skeet field and see how
fast you can finish a round. Score based on birds hit and time. (First
"pull" to last shot fired)


Based on what I read about it the "Punt" gun was basically a big ass
shotgun used for duck hunting. It had a 2 inch bore and was capable of
hitting 50 ducks with one shot. That kind of hunting was banned in the
USA in 1900.

They were also used in the Everglades to harvest tropical birds like
egrets in order to satisfy the feather market for women's hats.

Yup, exactly and shotguns larger than 10ga are considered "destructive
devices".
The exception is if your punt gun is a muzzle loader. It is still
illegal to use it to hunt any federally regulated water fowl.

They used to load up these big guns on little flat boats, AKA a punt
and drift them out close to s flock if sitting ducks.

As part of that legislation it is also illegal to shoot a sitting
duck, no matter what gun you use.

We need to reinstate their legality. Might be a good way to diminish the Canada geese
problem.

Looks like you Canadians are having problems with the damn things also.

In fact, it looks like you folks have doubled the bag limit for hunters in an effort
to get reduce the problem.

Apparently, killing more of 'em isn't just the American way, eh?

Don is just trying to "yank our cranks" a little in his usual charming
way. or perhaps "crank the yanks" would be more aptly put.

There's no question however that Canadian geese are a pestilence upon
the populace regardless of which side of the border they alight.

Don is really a ways off base. Canada is the largest source of trophy
hunts in the world. If you want to "kill em all dead" go to Canada.
You can trap them shoot them or just club them to death on the ice.

That is between you, the hunters and the mounties. OK by me.
