Own a musket for home defense, since that’s what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. “What the devil?” As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he’s dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it’s smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, “Tally ho lads” the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
The four ruffians? The king of England, the king of England, the king of England, and the king of England. Fucking showed the bastards.
No, no, no, you got it all wrong. It’s the King of England, the future King of England, the futures future King of England, and the futures futures future King of England.
For the record, I blame Miller.
Grapeshot for home defense of course.
Nothing beats cannister for your truly murderous discharge.
To be fair the smoke from black powder would obscure the last frame.
The golden age of shootouts and wild west banditry was after they invented smokeless powder, so they could shoot you without billows of smoke revealing their location.
Now is all that smoke obscuring or revealing?!
Make up your damn mind!
I mean y’all joke but lots of the founding fathers did fortify their homes.
