I see that Guns may be under attack again.

Despite the fact that nobody was seriously hurt, the Media will no doubt be calling for more bans.

There will be Shooters among us who having no interest in Air Guns, will shrug their shoulders and not be bothered, some even agreeing with more restrictions. Remember though that Gun Control Freaks will not be happy with anything short of a complete ban. We should oppose every new proposed Gun Law...Haven't we been screwed enough?

Time for a Pro Gun Video....The Airgun that changed History......Used by Lewis and Clark early 19th Century explorers.

It would be interesting to see one of these in action,

I fired a modern pre charged last year that shot a 155 grain cast .32" bullet and it was very capable of killing smaller beasts. Incredibly noisy as well.

While looking for info for the Girandoni - 35 years in Service with Austro-Hungarian Military - Impressive for the time.

I came across this one.
