Larry, I know you're right. I realize if the day did come I wouldn't be relegated to the auto-crowd. I guess I'm just on a jag where I'm so sick and tired of the lack of rational thinking in this country when it comes to hunting, guns.....I'll stop there. That surely is enough.
Also, to be completely selfish, I have a nice collection of 19th century British BP Percussion shotguns (and 1 rifle), and it's tough enough working up adequate loads for those unchoked beauties with lead! Can you even use non-toxic alternatives in muzzleloaders? That could actually be the deciding factor for me, so I'll put my anger and ire away until I find the answer to that question!
