Excellent question! "Unusual" firearms these days are single-shots, muzzle-loaders, black powder burners... wait, wait. Unusual firearms these days are EXACTLY the firearms the American revolutionaries used around 1780. I believe at that time they could have been described as "assault weapons."

Unusual firearms were back in the day when anything went....ever see those duckfoot triple barrel black powder pistols? How about a cane gun, my friend knuckle duster derringer pistol?  now THATS unusual.
You are correctthough, The assault weapon of the day was the Kentucky (or if you are a Pa native like me) the PENNSYLVANIA long rifle which could reach out and heart shoot a foe at 300 yds whereas the British brown bess could MAYBE hit a man sized target at 50 yrds.
But the armalites and AKs have been around since the late fifties not unusual anymore......

Just a question because I really do not understand.

Why it is that a thread, about an issue such as the 2nd Amendment, an amendment which is I would argue vitally important to the freedom of the citizens of our republic. Moved and in the distraction news forum instead of the main forum?

Seems to me that attacks upon those rights of Americans which are fundamentally vital to our freedom are not merely a "distraction" but rather warrant our serious, and deep concern.

Which thread are you referring to?

Well, I think Federal judges are dangerous and unusual.  So there!

  Say what?

If this judge was consistent in her beliefs, than all media except the hand cranked press, would be considered unusual by the Founding Fathers, and therefore not protected by 1st Amendment.

Hmm... by her way of thinking, woman should stop taking the pill.

I was referring to this one. But, I was mistaken I see. Somehow last night when I asked the q, I got confused and thought I was in the msm kid forum when I saw this thread. Sorry....please continue the discussion.
