Mr. Jefferson’s Assault Rifle
High-capacity magazine? Check.
Capable of firing 22 aimed shots in a minute? Check.
A military weapon? Check.
Manufactured during the American Revolutionary War? Check.
The Girandoni was 22-shot, magazine-fed, nearly silent .46 caliber repeating rifle issued to elite Austrian troops from 1780-1815. Thomas Jefferson purchased two of these rifles, which he sent west with Lewis and Clark.
Remember it the next time some know-it-all—perhaps someone who used to have a cable show before he was fired for low ratings—says that the Founding Fathers only knew of muskets.
Hat tip to Bob Owens over at Bearing Arms. Bob’s got a great video on his article. Head on over to http://bearingarms.com/thomas-jeffersons-assault-rifle/ to check it out. Well worth your time in my opinion.

The Laws That Forbid
The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes… Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.
—Thomas Jefferson (quoting eighteenth-century criminologist Cesare Beccaria)

RECALL: Taurus Curve
From Tooele Shooting Supplies’ FB Page:
Got a couple of the new Taurus Curve pistols today. Before they arrived, someone from Taurus called us to tell them we couldn’t sell them, and had to send them back to the factory… due to issues they refused to discuss.
